Our newest American Lager at a low and crushable 2.5% ABV brewed with one of Germany’s oldest certified brewing barley and Saphir hops that lends a citrus, tangerine and lemony flavor profile. Lowest ABV beer since we opened!

On tap at tasting room:
Maybe this beer should be in the light lager category, though the guidelines don’t indicate “adjunct” directly, they do say adjuncts are “often” used. If it works itself out to shift there (even by my own request), I’m actually looking at this / rating it more as a non-alcoholic beer.
Crystal clear golden brew with a modest head that revives easily, if temporarily, and sustained collar (no lacing).
Nose has a bit of the cardboard-like N/A in it, but there’s a decent citrus keeping up the good fight against it. Taste is a little water cracker with a hint of biscuit before the flowery hops chime in. A little grassiness fills in behind, and a bit of watered down honey lingers to the finish.
As a “near beer” selection, I feel you could do worse. It vibes like a decent N/A lager, and lacks the sweetness and completeness of a typical AAL. That said, it has some character the latter often seems to lack.
Overall, a decent offering for what I feel it was fairly obviously for - a beer option if you are trying to keep your wits about you.
