ZENIT CZECH PALE LAGER
Czech Pale Lager
Colour: Pale Straw
ABV: 4.2%
Suggested Glassware: Krug
Tasting Notes: Zenit, is both the Italian and the Czech translation of the word zenith. For many beer lovers, pale lagers are the zenith of beer. To emulate the centuries old classic, we brewed this complex lager with Bohemian Pilsner malt which we decoction mashed for added colour and body. Loads of Czech Saaz hops were used in the kettle for a prominent herbal and grassy hop character that seems to escape from the glass. Aromas of lemon balm, green tea and classic noble hop spice lead to flavours of fresh baked bread and honey with a balanced bitterness that travels through the pallet.

YOU SCRATCH MY BACK CALIFORNIA IPA
Collaboration with Brassneck Brewing (Vancouver, BC)
Colour: Pale Straw
ABV: 6.5%
Suggested Glassware: Ale
Tasting Notes: Alongside heaps of classic West Coast hops like Centennial and Simcoe, this beer features different types of alternative hop products including Chinook Incognito hop extract and Cryo Pop. Fermented with our house lager yeast for a crisp and clean finish that lets the intense hop character burst out of the glass and shine through. We get notes of white grape, spruce tips, pithy citrus, and passionfruit with just enough bitterness for balance which leaves you wanting more at the end of each sip. So just sit back, relax and let this beer transcend you to the sunny beaches of Southern California.
