Hop Syndrome Lager
(has 1 batch)

Draft pour. Very solid lager. A lot of hops, and great flavor. Very good session style beer. Enjoyable. Enjoyed this.

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein leicht trübes dunkel goldgelbes Bier mit schöner Schaumkrone. Geruch hopfig fruchtit, malzig. Geschmack malzig fruchtig, hopfig, exotische Früchte, gut!

Draft at the Denver tap room - a very clean and straightforward hoppy lager - the pils malt provides a clean and balanced sweetness for the zesty, spicy, moderately bitter hoppiness to take hold of the palate - a mild mineral bite finishes, leaving a clean, refreshing finish.

Draft sample at Epic Brewing taproom, Denver. Pours clear pale golden with a white head. Aroma of grain, malt, citrus and light fruity hops. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter. Light bodied with light carbonation. Good for the style.

On tap at Belga Cafe. Pours a clear gold with some lacing, white head. Nose is lightly sweet, chewy malts, bread, lemon, grass. Flavor is lightly sweet, grass, lemon, white bread. Surprised the malt is less in the mouth. Crisp finish.

Draft at Paradiso Dupont. Hazy pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma of peppery hay, grass, straw. Taste is bitter grass and hay. Decent.

Tap at Baileys Taproom, PDX, 26/05/13. Clear blonde with a thin white head, a fait doseage of carbonation is evident. Nose is cereals, grain, pale malts, citrus, grass. Taste comprises lemon zest, grass, light caramel. Medium bodied with light spritz in the carbonation, crisp and refreshing in the finish. Decent lager.

Hazy pale gold beer, little white head. Crisp minerally palate - fresh. A little tiny bit of creamy malt. Nice fresh minerally mild grapefruit on top. Trace of juicy citrus. Crisp dry finish. Decent lager - very refreshing and zero cardboard.

22 ounce bottle into pilsener glass; Release 7, bottled 5/24/2012. Pours hazy golden straw color with a 1 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing on the glass; with a nice amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, pear, apple, pepper, grass, floral, cracker, bready grain, and earthy hop spiciness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity. Taste of lemon, pear, apple, orange zest, floral, grass, cracker, bread, pepper, pine, and herbal hop spiciness. Fair amount of lemony pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, light fruits, floral, grass, pepper, cracker, bread, pine, and herbal hop spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice flavor balance with good complexity; good hop/malt balance; and almost zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a crisp, prickly, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with nearly zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good hoppy pale lager. Nice hop/malt flavor balance with solid complexity; and extremely smooth and crisp to drink. I enjoyed this quite a bit, very well done.

650ml bottle
