This refreshing American Lager serves as a sophisticated showcase for the X033 hop, an Oregon-grown "New World Noble" variety. It offers an elegant sensory profile defined by fresh floral aromas and subtle fruit notes that deviate from typical citrus-heavy US hops. The palate is exceptionally clean, allowing nuanced layers of sweet hay and delicate spice to emerge against a neutral, grainy malt backdrop. Crisp and well-attenuated, the beer emphasizes the refined, aromatic qualities of the X033 hop without the harshness of high bitterness, resulting in a brilliantly clear and highly drinkable lager with a dry, snappy finish.
Appearance.Very pale straw color (2-3 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a white, frothy head that displays moderate persistence before receding to a thin collar.
Aroma.Moderate-low intensity. Clean fermentation profile with a very low grainy-sweet malt presence. The hop character is primary, featuring distinct floral notes, a hint of orchard fruit, and a rustic, spicy undertone reminiscent of sweet hay.
Taste.Neutral malt palate with a very low grainy sweetness. The flavor is dominated by the X033 hop character, providing floral and lightly fruity notes alongside a mild peppery spice. Low bitterness that is well-balanced. The finish is crisp, dry, and clean with a short, refreshing aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high carbonation that produces a noticeable carbonic bite on the tongue. Smooth delivery with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
