This 5% ABV American style lager is full of hop flavor.  Cascade, Citra, and Simcoe hops provide citrus, grapefuit, floral, and pine flavors and aromas.  American 2 Row Malt contributes very light malt flavors that lets the hops shine through.  This lager is much more bitter and has bolder hop flavors and aromas than a standard American style lager.
