A hop-forward lager, brewed in collaboration with our friends from Human Robot Beer in Philadelphia, PA. It features a decoction mashing of German Pilsner & German heirloom barley malts, and was hopped with a blend Tango & whole cone Hallertau Mittelfrüh. Expect fresh notes of citrus, pear, biscuit, and noble hop flowers.

Canned 9/30/25, drunk 1/18/26, as pictured.
Big one-two punch of lush malt and hops with rich, spicy dried herb and mild pepper. Super clean and seemingly crisp, with very fine, honey-like malt notes, a touch of mineral and perhaps a hint of pear.
Again the richness and flavor here is phenomenal. Reminds me of Human Robot and Schilling, though I've never had an Old Thunder beer, so maybe it would remind me of them too. Whatever the case, it's fresh, lush, rich succulent herb coupled with rich, lush, supple, honey-like maltiness and excellent, peppery bitterness with ample dryness and crisp yeast/mineral on the long, flavorful, clean finish.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Bright yellow gold color. Large frothy white head. Subtle notes of citrus and apple on the nose. Flavor is bittersweet and malty. Hints of biscuit, grain, cut grass and citrus pith. Light in body, yet wonderfully refreshing. Definitely see and taste the Human Robot influence here. Yum!

Can from Tavour. Pours gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is lightly bready with grass/spice notes. Med body or nearly. Crisp/clean. Bready malt is well dominated by Noble grass/spice. It is delicious.
