HARP LAGER

Named after the Celtic harp, fine gold-toned pale lager retains barley-backed baked bread brim framing buttery malt sustenance, muted grassy hop fizz, and minimal fruit spicing maintained to smooth creamy finish. Crisp, clean, and oh so subtle. Rates higher on tap. Lesser Canadian version from “genuine Irish recipe” rates lower due to unwanted diacetyl pungency and cruder crystal malting.

LION LAGER

Pungently musty toasted barleymalt aroma-palate contrasts gentle citric tang and fizzy clean-watered flow of  pale-bodied moderation. Delicate pepper-hopped orange blossom finish lacks firmness. Fine for delicate tastes or as alternative to godawful ‘lite’ beers, but too anonymous for the rest.
