Draught at Worden Hall, 1/25/17.
High clarity in this pale, flaxen-golden beer. White head atop is medium-sized and quite well-retained for a pale lager.
Soft hints of corn/cereal character is very clean-smelling. No corn syrup, staleness, anything like that. Hints of honey from the malt with light mineral, soft, grassy and herbal hops and a touch of pepper on the end. Smells very pleasant, clean, mild and inviting.
Crisp, light, dry and flavorful (honey, light bread, corn), with ample, yet fairly soft carbonation and an appropriately malty texture. Tons of mineral, light honey, floral and peppery hops. Exquisitely clean and drinkable with no alcohol noted. This is a pre-pro lager that doesn’t even lean on the hops for character; it’s all in the deliciously done malt and flaked maize. Phenomenal and wonderfully drinkable and refreshing.
