Golden Ears Lager is our lightest lager, built for crisp refreshment and easy everyday drinking. At 4.2% ABV and 14 IBUs, it is smooth, clean, and approachable, with a dry finish and a gentle hop bite that keeps it from feeling plain.
This is a great beer for customers who want something familiar, refreshing, and easy to share. It has the clean profile people expect from a light lager, but the ingredient choices give it a little more character than a typical mass-market beer. If you want a batch that feels right after work, with dinner, on a sunny afternoon, or when friends stop by, Golden Ears Lager is an easy one to recommend.
The base of the beer is 2-Row malt, which gives it a clean grain character and a dependable foundation. 2-Row keeps the beer crisp and balanced, allowing the lighter body and smooth finish to come through clearly.
About 10% of the grain bill is toasted flaked rice. Rice is a classic ingredient in light lager styles because it helps create a cleaner, drier finish and a lighter body. In this beer, the toasted flaked rice helps make Golden Ears Lager especially refreshing, while adding a subtle grain character that keeps it from feeling too thin or neutral.
Tettnang is used as the hop, bringing a soft and classic noble hop profile. It adds gentle herbal, floral, and lightly spicy notes, along with a clean bitterness that supports the beer without taking over. The result is a lager that stays light and easy-drinking, but still finishes with enough character to feel complete.
The name connects naturally to Golden Ears, one of the best-known landmarks in the Maple Ridge area. With its mountain views, forest trails, campgrounds, and access to Alouette Lake, Golden Ears brings to mind fresh air, open space, and time spent outside. This beer has that same kind of easy, refreshing feel. It is light, clean, and uncomplicated in the best way.
Golden Ears Lager pairs well with burgers, grilled chicken, pizza, fish tacos, nachos, sandwiches, and salty snacks. It is also a strong choice when you are making beer for a group because it has such broad appeal. Some beers are made for a very specific taste, but this one is built to be enjoyed by almost anyone who likes a clean, refreshing lager.
It is also a great value for keeping beer stocked at home. A batch gives you plenty of beer on hand, making it easier to relax and enjoy yourself without constantly restocking small packs. For customers who want something light, dependable, and easy to enjoy regularly, Golden Ears Lager is a practical and satisfying choice.
Golden Ears Lager is a clean, crisp, refreshing beer with a smooth body and a bright finish. The 2-Row malt gives it structure, the toasted flaked rice keeps it light and dry, and Tettnang hops add just enough flavour to make it stand out. It is simple, approachable, and very easy to come back to.
