First Born Unicorn is a vibrant West Coast Lager that reimagines the German Pils framework with a bold, modern hop profile. It delivers a punchy sensory experience defined by layers of citrusy, floral, and herbal aromas, punctuated by a subtle spicy edge. The palate is clean and refreshing, featuring a light, doughy malt foundation that is quickly superseded by a firm hop bitterness. At 5.8% ABV, it maintains a crisp, medium-light body and high carbonation, ensuring a dry and drinkable finish. This beer successfully balances traditional lager precision with the assertive, hoppy character typical of West Coast inspirations.
