Our dry, crisp, and refreshing version of an India Pale Lager boasts hop aromas of black tea, lime, floral, and spice leading into a delicate body of flavors that coincide with the aroma profile including kaffir lime and green tea.

Picked up as kind of a laugh purchase, thought all those friends who grew up on Rage 'FU I won't do what you tell me' that are now 'FU do what the govt tells you' would be able to laugh at.

Pours a very lightly cloudy yellow. 1/2" white head. Didn't know it was a lager, but the aroma kicked down hoppiness and lager yeast, so we're in satisfied territory so far. I haven't been all that aggro for Idaho 7 hops, but they did prolly the best they've ever done for me here. Color me impressed even if I didn't get the same aromas the commercial tug job tells you are there.

Taste was good, both lager, the hops and the much lighter Jasmin rice. I was getting mostly stone fruit like hoppy notes alongside some pine ones. Body nice and fitting for this beer, light malt body but still has some crispness.

Best part about this beer is it wasn't the usual 2-3x the price of other similar beers like Mikkeller tends to do. Would bang again if priced similar to other IPLs like it was when I found it.

A: The beer is crystal clear yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a half finger high white head that quickly died down, leaving lots of lacing covering the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of kaffir limes are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of green tea and notes of kaffir limes, the latter of which linger into the finish.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a little clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This lager is easy to drink and has nice, but subtle aromas and flavors of green tea and kaffir limes.
