Bavarian-Style Lager

Part ski-beer and all fiesta, Skiesta is brewed for perfect days and storied nights. We teamed up with the outdoor adventure crew at Teton Gravity Research on this Bavarian Lager: a crisp, quaffable easy-drinker to keep on repeat as the skiesta stretches into the night.

From sister in law: pale gold with white head. Aroma is grainy malt, some herbs. Taste is lightly sweet. Sessionable. Fine beer.

11/26/19 On tap @ Mills River. Half-sized pint glass. Classic clear gold, ordinary appearance. Nice lingering lacy head. Grainy, clean scent, no odd stuff,can't complain. Soft, so slightly sweet malt, tingle of background hops, thin, but ends a little flabby. Of course it's clean. Very close to something generic. Wanted a pinch of bitterness or acid the finish this.

Vibrant golden with a large foamy head. Tangy, sweet and fruity with malt and honey undertones. Medium finish finish. Smooth body. Well done.

12oz can. Malty, smooth, medium bodied, easy drinking. True to style. I keep waiting for it to hit me with some big hop bite, but there is just steady noble hop tone, a little peppery up front but quickly fades into a smooth, sweet finish. Pretty much a great Bavarian style lager.

12 oz can from Boise Co-op. Clear golden pour, initial head, fades to flat. Grainy aroma, malt, corn. Taste is more bready, grainy flavors, touch of hops at the finish. Full mouthfeel, heavy.

12 ounce can from Costco Appleton, 12.8.19. Clear amber, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of bready malt, apple, some floral notes. Taste is pale malt, white bread, canned tomato, apple. Medium bodied, low bitterness. Not great, a rarity for these guys.

Canned September 6th 2019.

It pours a clear gold with a massive head of foam, lacing is top notch.

The smell is malty, bready, fruity with a mild hop bitterness.

Malty with mild sweetness, bready, some grainy notes, light bitterness in the aftertaste. I don't taste anything of the fruity character that I got from the smell.

Medium bodied with medium carbonation.

Oh yes. Thanks for brewing this so drinkable Bavarian style Lager. Hey, it's a collaboration with Teton Gravity Research??

Basic but well-made lager, grainy and crisp, with a modest toasted corn sweetness against floral hop notes and mild lemon and apple yeastiness. Very drinkable.

Draft. Light golden body with a frothy, white head, diminishing. Light aroma of bread, toasted grain. Watery texture. Lively carbonation. Not a lot of flavor, but a cut above most pale lagers.
