It’s been a dozen years since we’ve brewed a lager—and, true to form, we’re going big with Dissenter India Pale Lager, our argument in favor of the potential for complex lagers. Brewed with a wide variety of tropical, citrus-forward hops, Dissenter clocks in at 8.7% ABV and 70 IBUs. Our ales are fermented at warm temperatures, but this lager is fermented cold, using a different kind of yeast. The longer brewing process used for lagers gives Dissenter an exceptionally clean finish, allowing you to appreciate the clear beauty of the hops as you would a well thought out, eloquent dissenting opinion. We’ll let this one speak for itself.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a slightly hazy deep straw color with a huge tightly bubbled white head that shows moderate retention and some sticky lace. Aromas of sour pink grapefruit some pine and resin with a hint of menthol and mint. Very faint crackery malt deep underneath. The flavor is intense sour grapefruit with hints of pine resin and earth. Still very faint malt deep underneath. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Intensely bitter but I couldn’t stop drinking it. The hops are a bit of an odd combination and at first I was a little put off, but about half a glass in I was drinking this like a champ.
