Border Hopping is a vibrant American Lager that bridges traditional crispness with contemporary hop intensity. This collaboration between Two Chefs and Buddelship utilizes oats to impart a surprisingly smooth, silken texture to the medium-light body. The sensory profile is defined by a high-intensity hop character described as juicy and fresh, moving away from classic floral notes toward modern tropical fruit and citrus. Despite the punchy aromatics, the beer maintains its lager soul with a clean fermentation, brilliant clarity, and a dry, refreshing finish. It is a highly carbonated and approachable brew that balances a neutral malt base with expressive, forward-thinking hop flavors.

Appearance. Pale straw to medium yellow (2-3 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a frothy, bright white head that exhibits moderate retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop aroma with prominent notes of tropical fruit and citrus. Low malt character is present as a light grainy sweetness, supplemented by a subtle nutty note from the oats. Fermentation is very clean with no sulfur or esters.

Taste. The palate leads with a neutral, slightly grainy malt sweetness followed quickly by vibrant hop flavors of melon and citrus. Hop bitterness is low to medium-low, ensuring the balance remains approachable. The oats provide a light creamy flavor that rounds out the mid-palate. Finishes crisp, dry, and exceptionally clean.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a noticeably smooth, creamy texture due to the oat addition. High carbonation provides a refreshing carbonic bite. No alcohol warmth is perceived.
