Lord Hobo 617 is a refined American Lager that emphasizes crispness and high drinkability. It greets the senses with a subtle, clean aroma of light grain and a faint floral hop note. The appearance is a brilliant, pale straw topped by a fleeting white head. On the palate, it delivers a neutral, well-attenuated profile with a hint of sweet corn and a very low, smooth bitterness. The finish is exceptionally dry and refreshing, accentuated by a lively carbonation that provides a sharp carbonic bite. At 5.5% ABV, it offers a slightly fuller presence than mass-market examples while remaining impeccably clean and sessionable.
