Pale Lager 4.2 º 16 IBU

Bastards Brewery

This vibrant American Lager presents a modern, hop-forward twist on a classic refreshing style. Utilizing Mosaic and Zappa hops, the sensory profile is lead by distinct notes of ripe tropical fruit and zesty citrus peel. A cooling mentholated edge and hints of fresh herbs provide complexity against a very clean, neutral malt backdrop. At 4.2% ABV, it remains remarkably easy-drinking, offering a crisp, well-attenuated finish characteristic of the style. The integration of bold, New World hop aromatics into a lean lager framework results in a highly sessionable beer that balances punchy aromatics with a dry, thirst-quenching character.

Appearance. Straw yellow to light gold (2–3.5 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a frothy white head that shows moderate persistence for the style.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring mango, passion fruit, and tangerine. Subtle herbal and minty undertones. Malt is very low, showing a faint grainy sweetness. Clean fermentation profile with no yeast-derived esters.

Taste. Crisp and dry initial impression. Very low grainy malt flavor. The palate is dominated by hop flavors of citrus zest and tropical fruit, followed by a light resinous and mentholated finish. Low bitterness is well-balanced against the dry attenuation. Clean aftertaste with a slight lingering herbal note.

Mouthfeel. Light body with high carbonation providing a refreshing carbonic bite. No alcohol warmth. Smooth, non-astringent, and highly crisp.
