BackBone

This American Lager presents a modern, hop-forward interpretation of the style, delivering a refreshing profile with a slightly cloudy, coppery appearance. The sensory journey is defined by a vibrant citrus aroma originating from a selection of American hops, which provides a zesty contrast to the clean fermentation character. On the palate, a subtle, grainy malt sweetness provides a foundation for smooth, persistent bitterness. The finish is crisp and dry, characteristic of the style, yet enhanced by lingering floral and citrus notes. It maintains high drinkability while offering more hop complexity than standard examples, balancing a light body with bright, assertive hop cues.

Appearance. Coppery color (approximately 8–12 SRM), slightly cloudy with a white, frothy head that shows moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring prominent citrus American hop character; low grainy-sweet malt aroma with a very clean, neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is crisp and balanced; low grainy malt flavor is present alongside moderate citrus hop flavors; bitterness is smooth and persistent, finishing dry and clean with a light citrus aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation providing a lively carbonic bite; very low alcohol warmth and a smooth, non-astringent texture.
