The fourth release in our twelve-beer series is a hoppy lager pouring a hazy golden colour with a fluffy white head. It smells like a summer day: bursting with notes of strawberry, mint wildflowers, tangerine, grapes and sweet malt. Coming in at 6% ABV, with a flavour of sweet berries, pithy citrus and floral honey, this beer is dangerously crushable and just a little bitter on the finish.
The fourth release in our this twelve-beer series that will contribute one-twelfth to a bigger picture.
The pictures speak to, and poke fun at, meaning-making - the stories and myths we tell each other and ourselves in order to make sense of life, relationships and our place in the universe.
Like life, these beer labels are a puzzle that maybe - just maybe - can be solved if we just get together (over a beer or two?) and communicate.
Follow along with the series for a new lager release at the beginning of every month, adding another piece to the puzzle!
