Dan pops open Other Ephemera, a hoppy lager made with pilsner malt, malted wheat and Vista and Moutere hops, from Threes Brewing.
Threes Brewing Other Ephemera
STYLE: Hoppy Lager
INGREDIENTS: Premium Pilsner malt, Malted Wheat; Vista, NZ Moutere hops
ABV: 4.8%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16oz Cans, Draft (Limited)
Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.
Appearance
Medium yellow/gold with a fluffy, white head of mixed-sized bubles.
Aroma
Fruit dominate the nose, with a mix of lime, melon, and candied kiwi, followed by a hint of dankness.
Taste
Lime really comes through from the nose to the palate with a floral note rejoining a residual melon before a hint of hop bitterness on the finish.
Mouthfeel
Light mouthfeel and fairly dry with a pleasant carbonation.
Overall
This is a really intriguing but lighter lager that really showcases the hops. I was feeling Chicken Satay or peanut sauce-based dish for pairing.
Cheers and remember:
Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
