Tasting Notes:
Batch #4 of Albura Lager is the first batch #madewithRiverbend malt after a recent maltster switch. The result is a little rounder and smoother than the previous batch. The malt combination is crisp, clean, with a rich slightly sweet corn flavor. While it doesn’t need a lime wedge, we think adding one makes it even better!
