This unique lager was brewed using Minnesota wild rice, Wisconsin Mt Hood and Super Saazer hops, and a resurrected yeast strain from a 19th century brewery in Wisconsin. Inspired by classic American-style Amber lagers, this beer presents flavors of berries, toast, nuttiness, and subtle spices. A creamy richness greets the palate and is finished by a dry and light feel making this beer highly drinkable. Brewed in collaboration with our downstate friends Triptych Brewing .

Whoa, some unexpected color right off! It's clear amber-brown, not unlike Modelo Negra, with a quite tall, puffy tan head.

Smell trades autumnal Vienna and Märzen vibes before taste adds a poppingly tangy brightness nearing plum before receding to amaretto.

Soft, airy, almost crisp, a grassy herbal bite balances.
