Record Low is a hop-forward hybrid brew that blends West Coast IPA aromatics and flavor with the clean, crisp character of a zippy Pilsner. Expect notes of bright citrus, stone fruit and dank pine with firmly integrated bitterness and a snappy dry finish.

16oz can, adhesive label. Bottom stamp is '112024'.
Partly cloudy, pale gold colored body. Long lasting white head, initially a thick finger deep, which becomes a full cap and extended high ring. Leaves behind lacing patches on the glass.
Aroma is citrus and pine hoppy plus a toasted malt base.
Taste has the IPA flavors of orange, grapefruit, apricot, and pine along with a crisp lager base of toasted malts. Aftertaste remains fruity sweet, bitter pine, and smooth caramel lager.
Medium mouthfeel. Crisp and clean finish. Bitterness blends well with the sweeter fruit and malts. Very good carbonation.
Lots of fruity and pine IPA expressions balanced with the crisp lager malts.

This beer is a mostly clear bright gold color with a soapy white head. Decent lace. The aroma has a nice mix of citrus fruit (peel), pine, and earthy hop scents. The taste, after just hint of sweetness in the foretaste is balanced. Nice malt and bitter juxtaposition in the midtaste and a clean finish. Medium body. Nice beer.
