Kazbegi Lager (50cl, 5%)

A filtered Georgian lager brewed with mountain spring water, bottled at 5% ABV in a 500ml format. It is produced by Global Beer Georgia at their brewery in Tsilkani, in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region near Tbilisi, and is brewed from barley malt, hops and mountain spring water. The nose opens with moderate malty grain, light grassy character and gentle honey sweetness. The palate is clean and malt-forward, with lightly caramelized grain, honey sweetness, floral grassy notes, faint lemon-like brightness and mild yeast. The finish has a pleasant sweet-bitter interplay from the hops, closing clean and dry enough to encourage another sip.
