Celebration Lager.
Borne of imported malts and domestic corn grits for a complex yet light body. Adorned with a dry, Champagne-like finish, this beer shimmers with refinement. Highly carbonated and delightfully fruity, it dances across the palate like a string quartet across crystal parquet. It is not merely a beer, it is a toast to five years of devotion to lager, precision, and polish.

16oz can c/o Ryan. Interesting beer, a slight departure from uber-classical stuff. I think of Sparkling Ales as an Australian thing. I'd imagine they have or had a more English tone there. Not sure. Great body, mouthfeel. Hop tone is classical but also a little bit of a juicy edge, not so much in the aroma as the flavor. Pretzely malts and quality corn tone collide. Good stuff, best example of the elusive Sparkling Ale I've had.

Draft at Goldfinger's 5th Lagerversary. Solid gold lager beer color with a thin layer of foam. Full noble hop nose. Sparkling, yes, though these are not quite champagne bubbles. Nice and dry along with some fine carbonation.
