Depart Estate Lager B1

Depart is made entirely from barley, triticale, and wheat we grow in the fields next to our brewhouse. We grow the triticale — and all of our grains — using nutrient-providing crop rotations with zero chemicals or poisons. In our case, it actually is beer from here: ground to grain to glass.

The triticale provides an interesting depth of wheat, with a playful spice note of rye on the mid palate and finish, seemingly carrying the beer’s effervescence from start to finish. The lager has a nice body without being weighed down and a subtle sweetness balanced by restrained hop bitterness, with the beer finishing dry. The hops accentuate the layers of malt flavors with top notes of wafting citrus and pleasant herb. Show Less
