Monteiths JB Lager is a classic New Zealand pale lager that has been a local favorite for decades. Brewed using traditional methods and high-quality ingredients, including pure water from the Southern Alps, this beer offers a balanced and refreshing drinking experience. The aroma is crisp and malty, with hints of sweet corn and a touch of bread crust. The appearance is a clear golden color, topped with a bright white head and moderate lacing. On the palate, the flavor is balanced, with a malty sweetness upfront that leads to a hoppy bitterness that lingers pleasantly on the finish. Subtle notes of citrus and floral hops add complexity to the profile. With a light to medium body and a smooth, easy-drinking character, Monteiths JB Lager is a versatile companion that pairs well with a range of dishes, from fish and chips to burgers and spicy Asian cuisine. At 4.5% ABV and 20 IBU, it's a classic Kiwi lager that's perfect for any occasion.
