An India Pale Lager can be viewed either as a cool- and bottom-fermented American IPA, or as an “IPA-like” Lagerbier loaded with plenty of American hops. The malt-accented, light-orange, unfiltered Weyermann® version with its slender body comes closer to the second interpretation. Brewed with 30% of its grist being classic Weyermann® Munich Malt Type 2 and CARAHELL®. Above the brew’s fine and compact head rises a strong and hoppy bouquet of red fruit, berries, and black currants derived from classic American hop varieties. These include America’s oldest hop, the pungent, allspice-and-pepper Cluster for bitterness. The floral-spicy Columbus and the mildly citrus-like Galena are for aroma.
This beer pairs well with scampi, baked Camembert, or a salad topped with goat cheese.
Ingredients: Water, Weyermann® barley malt, hops, yeast
