What does a fresh start mean to you? Is it a chance to kick old habits? Will you try something new? Is it just time for a change? Our Fresh Start is a new take on a tried and true style. New world hops and a pilsner-style malt bill allow the aroma of citrus and fruit to dominate while an edging bitterness is held at bay by the all-malt grain bill. If you’re looking to kick the snow off a little early and change it up from the hearty cold-weather beer season, this beer is for you.

Hoppy pale lager. Pilsen, Vienna, Caramel 10L malts and hopped with Amarillo and Crystal.
Pale golden orange, ever so slightly hazed with occasional rising carbonation visible.
Lots of sudsy foam and lasting lacing in the glass, good coverage as well.
Aroma is softly sweet and malty with a faint dried citrus peel edge. Clean and appealing.
Taste has a firmly bitter hop presence, light Spring-like green botanicals, juicy citrus hints.
Aftertaste is grassy, clean and dry. Light feel with an ample creamy texture. Well carbed and crisp, light and easy drinking with a good hop presence.
Overall it's a great Spring seasonal, and a well-built hoppy lager.
