Cut through the haze to reveal the taste of American hops in Mass Rising, a double hoppy lager. We infuse this beer with increasing amounts of Mosaic, Simcoe, and Ekuanot hops during the brewing process to maximize flavor and challenge the expectation of what a lager can be.

Straw golden pour, 3 finger creamy off-white head.Nose is reat. Simcoe, chinook and a touch of citra. Healthy balance of sweet malts and earthy / citrus hops. The hop bill is very close to that of Heady Topper. seriously. it tastes like a less malty Heady, perhaps more clean of a finish.

500mL bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours a cloudy opaque golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of floral and piney hops, some citrus zest, and a bit of spice. Flavour is just like a double IPA -- the lager yeast is not really noticeable -- with loads of piney and floral hops, a little bit of citrus fruits and more pine. Exceptionally smooth, with loads of pine. Very dry and piney finish. A most excellent IIPL!

50cl bottle pours a hazy, straw yellow with some cloudy, fizzy, white head. Nose of bright scallions, bright chives, a little green garlic, onion patch, grass, hay. Flavor is lightly sweet, grassy, conventional lemon, scallion, chive. Medium bodied, dry, refreshing finish.

Bottle @ home, courtesy of Ernesto987. Thanks! Pours a hazy, bright yellow appearance with a white head. Very assertive, onion/garlic, super spicy hoppy, moderate grapefruity aroma. Pretty intense nose. A bit chewy, cracker grainy malty, really potent onion, very spicy hoppy flavor with a bunch of lingering spicy hoppiness in the aftertaste. Ye gods this fucker is one intense hop bomb. Good but maybe a bit too much for me.

Bottle from Downtown Wine and Spirits. Pours a crystal clear deep straw with a huge bubbly bone white head that takes forever to recede. Aromas of spicy onion and garlic with a bit of pine and dankness hiding a hint of bready sweet malt. The flavor is lightly bready but overpowered by resin pine and green onion. Smooth hop flavor with just a touch of bitterness. Medium body with a spirited level of carbonation and a slick resinous mouthfeel. Nice beer, I’m glad I found some of this.
