Mash Citrus Lager by Lion Beer is a refreshing and flavorful craft beer that showcases a vibrant interplay of citrusy hops and a crisp lager foundation. Brewed in New Zealand, this Radler/Shandy-style beer pours a clear golden hue with a lively white head that forms a thin, persistent lace on the glass. The aroma is dominated by a burst of vibrant citrus notes, with prominent grapefruit, orange peel, and lemon zest. Hints of tropical fruit, such as pineapple and mango, complement the citrusy character, creating a captivating and inviting scent. On the palate, the beer is crisp and refreshing, with a light body and a moderate bitterness. The citrus flavors are immediately apparent, providing a zesty flavor profile. Grapefruit bitterness takes the lead, followed by a more subtle orange and lemon undertone. Tropical fruit notes add a touch of sweetness, while the lager yeast contributes to a clean, dry finish. The beer has a crisp, effervescent mouthfeel that enhances its drinkability, with the light body making it easy to sip while the subtle bitterness provides a satisfying balance.
