In continuing with the theme of a truly continental lager, we used a melange of tasty hops, including Ariana, Aramis, Mittelfruh, and Callista - all of which are crosses of Hallertau lineage. Pretty cool! The end result is a bouquet of floral aromas and a decidedly lemony finish on the palate with a firm bitterness to match with a handful of kebab.

4 pack canned 7/10/25, most recent can drunk 2/27/26.
Round, clean and malty with dainty, honey-like notes mixing with fresh herbs and very slight pepper from the hop. Light minerality, good fruitiness from hop emerging as it warms/breathes.
Rich malts drying out nicely with a bit of fruity melon, slight pineapple and then more classic fresh herb character from the hop. Round honey from the malt with excellent depth for its size creating a satisfying, flavorful, balanced lager. Clean and crisp with pleasing, but not overdone bitterness on the finish.
