Rooted in the timeless traditions of European lager brewing, Headwaters Heritage Lager brings together the elegance of a pilsner with the expressive hop character of the modern Pacific Northwest. Built on a clean pilsner malt foundation and layered with Anchovy and Alora hops, it opens with bright citrus peel, subtle tropical fruit, and delicate floral aromatics before finishing with a smooth, rounded malt character and remarkable drinkability.
Anchovy provides structure and depth with notes of resinous citrus and layered tropical fruit, while Alora lifts the aroma with hints of orange blossom, lemon oil, and fresh-cut flowers. Beneath the vibrant hop expression lies a pilsner malt backbone that lends balance, complexity, and a subtle touch of old-world richness.
Headwaters is built on contrast—softness and bitterness, elegance and intensity, tradition and progression. It pays tribute to the heritage of classic European lagers while embracing the bright, expressive hop profile of the modern Pacific Northwest, creating a beer that is both familiar and distinctly Alaro.
