Scratch #502 Amber Lager is built on a base of Chocolate and Munich malts as well as flaked corn. Using a technique called decoction, we boil a portion of the mash to impart a bright, dry maltiness. Hersbrucker and Tradition hops provide floral and dried spice notes, while Mexican lager yeast adds a crisp finish. Layered with notes of crusty bread, stone fruit and delicate floral hops, this amber-hued lager straddles the line between simple and complex.
