Autumn is in the air and Eight Degrees have gathered a bountiful blend of Noble and New World hops together for this fulsome harvest lager. Here, they have focused on a clean, pale lager base, combined with an intense hop aroma. It’s a beer packed with hoppy possibilities.
Tasting notes
Colour/appearance: light straw yellow, lots of fine bubbles due, our brewer tells me, to the beer being gespunded*.
Aroma: a solid noble hop base with lots of fresh citrus, lime blossom and lemon balm on the nose.
Flavour: clean and crisp and very guzzleable. Herbal flavours of mint leaf balanced with zippy lime citrus.
Aftertaste: lean, clean and delicously cool on the palate.
Food pairings
This Oktoberfest-style bier will go superbly with traditional Oktoberfest-style food: bring on great big würstl with plenty of mustard and sauerkraut, warm pretzels and that spiced cheese-butter spread called obatzda, a spit-roasted half chicken and roasted ham knuckles. A plate of spaetzle or semmelknödel and that’s you filled up until Christmas. At least you have this hoppy lager to cut through all that dense, rich food. If you have a chance – or can take any more food – try this beer with Dampfnudel, those sweet steamed dumplings, and see how the fresh citrus notes brighten up what could otherwise be a heavy dish.
ABV: 5.7%
