What happens if you brew a beer that’s right between an American IPA and Hells Lager? Indian Summer Lager, that’s what.
Indian Summer Lager is a 6.4% ABV unfiltered pale lager hopped with Columbus, Cascade, Chinook, Citra and Simcoe. We want the big, bold hops of an American IPA combined with the wonderful clean simplicity of a great lager. It’s had over a month in tank (mostly cold conditioning to give that clean depth), it’s been dry-hopped, it’s unfiltered and it’s tasting incredible.
It’s hazy blonde with a full, creamy foam. The aroma is all about the wonderful fresh fruitiness of American hops with loads of citrus and tropical fruit. It’s clean, vibrant, loaded with hop flavour and finishes with a bold, lingering bitterness.

330ml Can from beermerchants.com. Pours clear gold with medium white head. Aroma is extremely fruity, taste follows with vibrant mango and guava. Definitely has that Kernel mosaic pale ale thing going on. Wouldn’t have guessed it was a lager. Very nice.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours clear pale gold, light haze, long-lasting head. Light citrus and vegetal aromas, more citrus pale ale than lager-like. Taste is light bitter, again, more pale ale territory for me. Nice enough though.

On keg at the Craft Beer Rising event at Drygate brewery. This one took the green vegetable lager notes to a more pungent level. There was almost a garlic/root vegetable thing going on, certainly on the nose. The taste proved to be cleaner and more lager like. This brewery has definitely shown it can do a whole range of lagers.

Tap(Camden Town Brewery Tap, RBESG 2014):Golden to deep golden, hazy, very firm creamy off-white head, visible carbonation; aromas grapefruits in the also herbal-grassy nose, a yeasty-barnyardy touch is detectable in the background; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, a bit fizzy; lingering hoppy -bitter finish with some pale malt.The real thing…
