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.

Purchased at the Half Acre tap room in 4 pack form, enjoyed all throughout the 4th of July at various parties. This stuff is pretty great for the style. Appearance is a lightly cloudy, slightly dark gold with a rich and frothy white head that laces to the glass. Aroma is rich in lager yeast with a great hop profile and a bit of hay/caramel malt, smell is fantastic. Taste goes down with a light burn, it does taste like a higher ABV lager, moderate bitterness, has an interesting tropical fruit profile, it’s a great brew but not the best \"session\" beer, definitely fills you up after more than 1-2. Still great stuff though.
