Westbound & Down The Coloradan
Lager 4.9 º
This crisp International Pale Lager delivers a refreshing, clean experience rooted in its high-attenuation profile. The inclusion of flaked maize provides a delicate, grainy sweetness on the nose, complemented by the low but distinctive spicy and herbal notes of German Hallertau hops. Fermented with a specialized South of the Border lager yeast, the character is remarkably neutral and bright. It pours exceptionally clear with a fleeting white head, leading to a light-bodied palate where subtle cracker-like malts balance a mild bitterness. The finish is snappy and dry, making it an archetypal thirst-quencher with an elegant, minimalist structure.
Appearance. Brilliant clarity, pale straw color. Pours with a frothy white head that has moderate to low retention, leaving minimal lacing.
Aroma. Clean fermentation profile with low to medium-low grainy-malt intensity. Distinctive notes of flaked maize offer a light, corny-sweet edge, while German Hallertau hops contribute a very low spicy and floral herbal aroma.
Taste. Initial impression is crisp and refreshing. Low grainy-malt flavors with a hint of corn sweetness from the flaked maize. Medium-low bitterness provides balance without lingering. Hop flavor is subtle, showcasing herbal and spicy Hallertau characteristics. Finish is very dry and well-attenuated with a clean, neutral aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with high carbonation that creates a refreshing carbonic bite. Smooth and crisp with no alcohol warmth and zero astringency.
