Champagne Velvet

Can. Straw beer with a whitish head. Light sweet malt aroma with light mineral notes. Sweet malt and mineral flavor. Medium bodied. Sweet malt and mineral linger.

16 oz. can. Pours a mostly clear pale yellow color with a small white head and fair retention. No lacing. Virtually no aroma. Straightforward pale lager taste with just a hint of hops in the finish. Crisp and clean and smooth mouthfeel. Nothing special; Just a good pale lager.

16 ounce can into lager glass, no can dating. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness/corn, pepper, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale malt/corn and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness/corn, pepper, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness/corn, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt/corn and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Very clean on lager flavors, minimal fruitiness. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a very good pale adjunct lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt/corn and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the moderately bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and never watery for the ABV. Very clean and nicely rich barley/corn flavors, with an impressive amount of hop presence for the style. Not overdone on adjuncts. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Draught. Pours Yellow with white head. Grassy aroma, rather full. Hop and malt body with a pleasant finish.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours very pale gold with a transient white head. Aroma seems rather corny. Near med body. Flavor is pale malt, slightly corny, but there's a bit of hop which keeps it from a drain pour. Maybe. Fairly dry; very mildly bitter.
