This American Lager offers a sophisticated, malt-forward interpretation of the style, drawing inspiration from Vienna-style characteristics. The use of heritage Chevallier and Bohemian Pilsner malts imparts a rich, grainy sweetness and a warm, biscuity depth atypical of more neutral examples. This bready foundation is accented by the floral and spicy notes of Goldings hops, sourced from Hukins Hop farm in Kent. Poured a light copper, the beer maintains the refreshing, high-carbonation crispness expected of the style while delivering a more robust sensory experience. The finish is clean and well-attenuated, ensuring a balanced, thirst-quenching character with a lingering hint of toasted malt.

Appearance. Light copper in color with brilliant clarity. It produces a frothy white head with moderate persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate-low intensity. The aroma is dominated by a bready, grainy malt sweetness. Very light floral and spicy hop notes from the Goldings are present in the background. The fermentation profile is exceptionally clean, with no detectable esters or fermentation byproducts.

Taste. Initial impression is of a clean, malt-forward profile with prominent notes of toasted grain and biscuity sweetness from the Chevallier malt. The hop flavor is low, contributing a delicate floral and herbal quality from the Goldings. Bitterness is low, keeping the balance slightly toward the malt side. The fermentation is clean, leading into a crisp, dry, and refreshing finish with a subtle, lingering toasted aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that provides a crisp, refreshing carbonic bite. It is smooth on the palate with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
