Style Context
The Brewers Association guidelines page read for this run lists no style named Hoppy Lager. As loose category context only, its nearest hop forward lager style, American-Style India Pale Lager, calls for high hop aroma and flavor at 5.6 to 7.9 percent ABV and 50 to 70 IBU; the GABF category may be defined differently. The newly verified 4.2% ABV is below that loose comparison; it does not establish equivalence between categories.

Research Notes
- Field pass 2026-10-13: The matching Untappd High & Fine beer page supplies 4.2% ABV, describes a Westcoast lager, publishes no IBU and names no hop varieties.
- The beer page exists (its title names High & Fine from Fieldwork) but its stat fields render as "n/a" without script; a direct download was blocked by the host's bot protection.
- The visible part of the Fieldwork Untappd beer list (25 of 469 beers) did not include it.
- Web search was unavailable for most of this run, so retailer, taproom menu and press sources could not be located.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery beer page renders no readable beer text.
