American Lager 5 º 30 IBU

Père Jakob

This refined Vienna Lager showcases a sophisticated interplay between traditional European malts and distinctive modern hopping. The sensory profile is anchored by bready Münich and toasty Wiener malts, creating a rich, copper-hued core complemented by subtle caramel notes from Carared. A firm bitterness of 30 IBU is provided by Brewers Gold, which perfectly balances the initial malt sweetness. The aromatic profile is uniquely enhanced by a cold-side addition of Polaris, contributing an unexpected but refreshing herbal lift with hints of mint. Cleanly fermented and crisp, this lager finishes with a lingering toasted grain character and a cool, spicy hop finish.

Appearance. Copper to reddish-amber color (approximately 12-14 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a large, creamy, off-white head that shows excellent persistence and leaves fine lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high malt intensity featuring pronounced toasty and bready-rich notes from the Wiener and Münich malts. A clean lager fermentation profile supports a unique hop bouquet; while Brewers Gold adds floral spice, the Polaris dry-hopping contributes distinct herbal, menthol, and slightly piney accents.

Taste. An elegant malt complexity leads the palate, offering flavors of toasted crust and baked bread. The sweetness is moderated by a firm hop bitterness from Brewers Gold that keeps the balance towards a dry finish. Polaris hops provide a subtle, cooling herbal nuance in the mid-palate. The finish is clean and crisp with a lingering toasty malt aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, gentle creaminess. Carbonation is moderate, providing a lively but non-aggressive sparkle. Very smooth with no perceptible alcohol warmth or astringency.
