Creative in spirit and flavor, India Style Pale Lagers are loosely defined and somewhat mysterious, making the style a fitting backdrop for two newly discovered hop varieties; Ella from Australia creates notes of orange peel, pine, and tropical fruits while Hallertau Blanc from Germany adds hints of floral, grassy, and herbal basil. The result is a playful and inventive hop character brought together by the crispness of a lager.
