Tröegs Independent Brewing has announced the return of Little ‘Nator, a spring seasonal release designed as a lighter take on its well-known Troegenator Double Bock.
At 5.5% ABV, Little ‘Nator is brewed with a blend of pilsner and caramel malts, giving it a light bronze hue and notes of crusty bread. The lager is hopped with El Dorado, Hersbrucker, and Tradition hops, bringing in subtle hints of stone fruit and floral aromas. A lager yeast strain provides a touch of fruity esters and a crisp, slightly sweet finish.
“We like to think of this beer as the rascally cousin of Troegenator,” says brewmaster and co-founder John Trogner. “It’s the perfect way for lager lovers to usher in the changing of the seasons.”
Little ‘Nator is available in 12-oz. bottles and cans, as well as on draft, across the brewery’s distribution footprint.
Its release coincides with Tröegs’ Perpetual Exploration seasonal variety pack, which includes Perpetual IPA, Graffiti Highway IPA, Little ‘Nator, and LolliHop Double IPA. Each 12-pack contains three cans of each beer, offering a selection of styles for the spring season.
