HERSHEY, Pa. — We still don't know what Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is going to be, but here's a sure sign of spring: Tröegs Independent Brewing announced Tuesday the release of Little ‘Nator as its new spring seasonal release.
Little 'Nator joins Field Study, Hopora and Blizzard of Hops in the Hershey-based independent brewery’s rotating seasonal beer series.
This light bronze-toned lager is brewed with pilsner and caramel malts to lend notes of crusty bread and is modeled as a lighter take on Tröegs' iconic Troegenator Double Bock, the company said.
Hopped with El Dorado, Hersbrucker and Tradition, Little ‘Nator displays hints of stone fruit and delicate floral notes. Lager yeast ties it all together with a touch of fruity esters and a sweet but crisp finish.
“We like to think of Little ‘Nator as the rascally cousin of Troegenator,” said Tröegs brewmaster and co-founding brother John Trogner. “It’s the perfect way for lager lovers to usher in the changing of the seasons.”
Weighing in at 5.5% ABV, Little ‘Nator is now available on draft and in 12-ounce bottles and cans throughout Tröegs’ entire distribution footprint.
The release of Little ‘Nator coincides with Tröegs’ Perpetual Exploration seasonal variety pack for spring. Each 12-pack features three cans each of Perpetual IPA, Sunshine Pilsner, Little ‘Nator and LolliHop Double IPA.
