The lager is contract brewed at City Brewing Company in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, using a straightforward recipe of malted barley, hops, water, and yeast. The result is a clean, uncomplicated American lager that leans into drinkability over complexity — a deliberate choice that separates it from the craft-heavy, hop-forward landscape and positions it squarely as a working-class session beer with a charitable backbone.Tasting NotesAroma: Light biscuit malt leads the nose, followed by a gentle kiss of floral hops. The overall impression is clean and restrained, with no off-putting adjunct sweetness.Taste: The entry is malt-forward and semi-sweet, with a clean grain character that carries through the mid-palate. The body is light and easy, with minimal bitterness allowing the simple malt backbone to do most of the talking. A slight sweetness keeps it approachable without veering into cloying territory.Finish: Crisp and satisfying, the finish cleans up quickly with a refreshing snap. There’s no lingering heaviness — just a dry, sessionable close that invites the next sip.How to Drink Montucky Cold SnacksServe ice cold, straight from the can. This is a beer designed for volume and refreshment, not contemplation. A Michelada works well here, as the clean malt base pairs naturally with lime, hot sauce, and Clamato without competing flavors. Try it in a Beer-a-Rita (beer margarita), where the light body blends seamlessly with citrus and tequila. It also makes a solid Shandy when mixed with fresh lemonade on a hot afternoon, letting the subtle malt sweetness complement the tartness.Best For
