Major Figures is a refined take on the classic American Lager, balancing simplicity with nuanced ingredient selection. Brewed with 100% barley malt, it offers a slightly more robust grainy sweetness than typical adjunct-heavy examples. The hop profile features Hallertauer Tradition and Admiral, providing a subtle yet distinct floral and herbal bouquet with a faint hint of spicy orange. The carbonation is brisk, leading into a clean, crisp finish that emphasizes the beer's refreshing nature. It presents as a bright, straw-colored lager with brilliant clarity, delivering a highly approachable, thirst-quenching experience where delicate herbal hop character dances over a lean, crackery malt base.
