Malt Shovel Brewers: La La Lager | Malt Shovel Brewery
ABV: 6.5%
IBU: 42
Style: Lager - IPL (India Pale Lager)
Actively Produced
Description: It’s a lager, but not as you know it. La La Lager is the second release from the Malt Shovel Brewers and the passionate team at the brewery are calling this one an IPL. That means it’s been dry hopped like a traditional IPA then fermented as a lager, rather than an ale. German hops are added late in the kettle to give it spicy and herbaceous characters while post-ferment the beer is dry-hopped with American hops to round out the flavour with a hint of fruit and citrus. It makes for a bold, full bodied brew that might just knock your socks off. "Basically we’ve turned the volume dial up on this a bit", says head brewer Chris Sheehan. "It’s bigger all round – big bodied, big bitterness and generously dry hopped to give it a punchy nose". Craft breweries tend to steer away from lager, leaving them to the mainstream outfits, but our brewers are big fans. They think we don’t see enough good quality lagers right now, so the new La La is here to shake things up and show that big lagers can easily go toe to toe with the big IPAs. There’s a reason that summer is unofficially Lager Season. Long hot days call for something clean, crisp and cold that will go down a treat. Malts: Pale, Malted Wheat, Carapils and Caraaroma Hops: Tettnang, Magnum, Northern Brewer, Centennial and Citra
