Brought to life using a lager yeast strain, this beer is a sensory pounder. Ignoring the idea of a traditional lager balance, Guest Lager hops the line and intentionally scales the flavors tied to the ale spectrum. This 8% ABV style bender wrangles an impressive canon of flavor into one place. Did we mention hops? This particular lager hosts enough Nelson Sauvin & Falconer’s Flight to soothe any weary traveler.

Draft @ beer temple. Surprisinglt good for a strong lager. Nicely hopped, for a great deal thanks to that deliciously fruity nelson sauvin. Still, this beer could have been better if it had the thicker body of for example a double IPA. There is only so much you can do with low fermentation and this beer proves that it’s just a more limited style.
