Threes Brewing has teamed up with Wayfinder Beer to launch a marvelous lager brew that is noted for its unique hop selection, which gives rise to a lager that is sessionable but also boasts more character and depth than many other craft lagers.
What makes this particular beer unique is the fact that it features a pair of locally raised hops of the Williamette and Mt. Hood varieties. This particular pairing of hops helps to promote what Threes Brewing refers to as a "lovely bouquet of aromatics," with floral power-notes upfront that are followed by more tranquil notes of berry and elegant notes of spice and wood. The brewery's tasting notes also mention elements of pink peppercorn and aged cedarwood.
The use of Premium North American Pilsner Malt along with rice give the beer a classic lager appearance and pour profile, with a light texture making it eminently crushable.
