Mac’s Maverick is an exceptionally easy-drinking Ultra Low Carb Bright lager. At 5% ABV and 99% carb-free, it delivers just the right hop punch for those who want a little more from their “better for you” beer.
This isn’t your average low-carb beer—this is an elevated, high-flying experience. We’ve crafted a crisp, bright lager that keeps the carbs at bay and the flavour on target. With a vibrant yet light and refreshing golden liquid, it’s everything you crave in a beer, minus the guilt.
Serving suggestion: Pour into a large clean suitable glass creating a thick, creamy head. Best served at 4 degrees.
Tasting Notes: Maverick is dry hopped with Superdelic and Nectaron hops, giving it bold tropical notes and a crisp, refreshing finish. Expect a hop-forward aroma bursting with passionfruit, pineapple, and juicy tropicals from Nectaron, layered with red berries and zesty citrus from Superdelic. A subtle hint of biscuit-like sweetness from Munich malt rounds it out. On the palate, it’s dry and crisp with upfront pineapple and citrus, balanced by a light toasty malt backbone and a clean, moderate bitterness that keeps it flavourful yet highly sessionable.
Food Match: The bright, crisp yet full flavours of Maverick are a wonderful match with Fish and Chips, Sushi or Oysters.
Hop varieties used: Superdelic, Nectaron
History:
Terry McCashin began making the Mac’s naturally brewed beer in 1981 at the old Rochdale cider factory in Nelson. Today, we remain determined to keep Terry's combination of quality and ingenuity alive.
