THIS BEER IS
A dry-hopped Session Pilsner. At 4.2% this amber-hued lager packs a malty punch with toasty Munich character and a light caramel sweetness. From here, things take a sharp turn towards the hoppy flavour, with some serious US citrus packed classic hops.

BREWER'S TIP
Keep the temperature of the fermentation as close to 12˚C as possible (or below). This allows the yeast to create a crisper and cleaner beer.
