IXNAY On The Hops, Eh?

Cracked one open after mowing the lawn and the crisp malt hits just right, zero of that bitter bite you usually get with lagers. Comet hops keep it interesting without shouting over the easy drinkability, and at 4.8% I’m not tipping over by the second can.

The comet hops keep it clean on the finish, which is exactly what I want in a 4.8% helles—crisp malt up front, zero bitterness clawing at your throat. Easy to knock back a few without thinking, and the punk label screams louder than the taste. Perfect summer crusher.

Poured it into a tall glass and the crisp malt really comes through with a clean, subtle hop finish — no bitter bite at all. The 4.8% ABV makes it dangerously easy to keep sipping, though I wish the bottles came in a bigger format for the price.
