500 Lager is a so-called 'hoppy lager'; a bottom-fermented beer with a noticeable hoppy character, brewed with only bayer malt and is dry-hopped with centennial hops. The brew is amber coloured. Upon drinking this beer, you will immediately notice the scent of centennial hops with its juicy fruitiness, combined with a banana scent, resulting from the Dahls' yeast. Additionally, the malt adds a mild caramel sweetness. The hops are also evident in taste and the bitterness well balanced against the body and mild sweetness. Citrus notes from the hops refreshed. Long-lasting aftertaste.

In brewing this 500 Lager, we drew inspiration from our first BETA beer, which was a Bayern-inspired beer brewed with the unique Dahls' yeast. In addition, the beer was brewed on the 500th anniversary of 'Das Reinheitsgebot' (the German purity lov). The beer became a success, but quickly emptied the stocks.

At E.C. Dahls, we want to stay true to our history but at the same time, test new ideas and inspirations. This is why we have replaced the traditional hops varieties with the distinctive centennial hops, resulting in a hoppy lager.

Bottle. Almost clear, deep golden to amber body with a big off-white head. Aroma is mostly malt based with bread and mild caramel, but there is also some kind of sublime fruitiness here as well. Flavor is soft, smooth caramel malt, bread, some brown sugar, herbs and general fruitiness in the background. Balanced body with an average aftertaste. Nothing really outstanding really, but quite interesting for a lager and really smooth and soft. A positive surprise this one.

Flaske fra Rema 1000, Hønefoss: klar, dyp kobbergylden med ok skum. Fin aroma med karamell, urter, ferskt brød og citrus. Balansert og frisk smak med fylde og delikat bitterhet i ettersmaken. En riktig god pøseøl for sommeren og resten av året.

Bottle. It’s a hazy deep golden to amber colored beer with a small, white head. The aroma is a bit on the bready, caramel side, with citrusy, resiny hops on the side. It’s bitter on the palate, medium to full-bodied, with a pleasant carbonation. Bread, caramel, hints of honey and very lightly roasted malts, and a pleasant citrusy, piney hoppyness in the flavor. Sort of metallic towards the finish, but not in a bothering way. I’m more concerned about the malts domination, and how it sort of crashes with the hops. Not a beer I’ll buy again at the store, but I might drink it at a pub lacking more interesting choices. 170506

Clear resin color with a fine tan head. The head stays quite long and gives a fine lacing. Ok intensity in the aroma with a fine hop profile. Medium body and a fine carbonation level. Nice fresh bitterness and a semi dry texture. Fruity, hoppy, toffee and some resin in the flavor. Quite nice and tasty lager.
[Bottle from REMA 1000 in Sarpsborg, Norway……quite local……friends…]
