Northern Monk – Patrons Project 8.03 DDH Lager Loral

Description

The third incarnation in the Reece Leung series from Northern Monk is made using a relatively new hop from USA, Loral.

When the brewers were first introduced to this variety, they immediately noticed its suitability for IPA/Lager hybrid styles. Its flavour notes read as a bridge between European noble hops and the US ‘C’ hops, offering up a floral, lightly peppery character backed up by plenty of citrus fruit which translates nicely through to the beer. Expect grassy, orange and peach notes to come through prominently in the aroma and the citrus and pepper notes to linger long in the after taste, enhancing the quenching nature of this soft, clean lager.
