Shouting lager, lager, lager, etc.*
There's been something bittersweet going on in 2021. Grifter have said goodbye to their yellow-clad pilsner tinnies, and welcomed a pool-table-green-clad European inspired lager to their core range.
The inclusion of Galaxy hops has new world hop aromas dancing in the background - a clean peachiness accompanied by light florals - but the Saaz and Motueka keep everything firmly grounded in familiar lager territory with their noble hop characteristics. A touch of sweetness hits the tongue among the pilsner malt character and water cracker dryness, but overall you’re still looking at a simple and sinkable bevvy.
