Nühell is a new type of lager. This succubus of a beer will entice you and suck you in with it's bright lager appearance. By then it's too late, there is no going back. The hop flavor and aroma will lay you out as well as any IPA, yet has the crisp palate cleansing effects of a lager. Brewed with all New Zealand hops, Nühell IPL is a lager all true hop fanatics will lose their heads over.

22oz bottle pours with a clear perfectly gold body that supports a near white head of foam. So I thought this was an IPA tick and had I noticed when I bought this it was a lager I likely would have passed on it. The aroma offers up some sweetness, some lagery yeasty fruity esters, tart hoppy grapefruit and then a light peach cotton candy sensation. The taste delivers firm hop notes like grapefruit citrus hops and a peach to slightly mango note. Well behind the hops lurks some soft sugary notes mixed with some lagery yeasty fruity esters. This has a nice bitter hoppiness up front to keep it light and refreshing well above the lagery sweetness. Very glad I didn’t notice this was a lager at the time of purchase.

Draft at the brewery taproom - Temecula. I fear there was something slightly amiss with the glass of this beer I tried. It wasn’t bad but there were characteristics I would not have expected. Fairly sweet with dried cereal, there are also notes of green pepper and hay. Huh. Lots of odd green pepper notes. Still tasty but I can’t imagine this is as intended.

Bomber from CraftShack. Pours light translucent gold with a slight creamy white head. Aroma is weird fruit fantastic. Med body, at least. Flavor is lots of mixed fruits, but there’s a burnt rubber aspect as well. I’m a bit confused by that, but it’s working very well for a guy who is on the last of several beers. It’s like South Sea weird herb/veg/fruit. Not a bad thing. Very different flavors. Different is good.
