Notes





A crisp, clean lager base meets the bold brightness of Amarillo and Simcoe hops. Bursting with grapefruit, tangerine, and a hint of pine, it balances modern hop character with a smooth malt backbone of Pilsner and Maris Otter. Cold-fermented for a refreshing finish, this one’s a must for IPA fans looking to raise a stein.
