Description
We are a small lager brewery
We specialize in producing distinctive all-malt lager and other German and Czech style beers. We use only the finest, most appropriate malts, hops, water and yeast in our beers. While our lagers are similar to those made in Germany and the Czech Republic, they are our own unique interpretation of the style.
Lager beers are fermented at lower temperatures than ale, using yeast that has adapted to cooler fermentations. Low temperature fermentations create fewer “yeasty” aromas, esters, and flavors that are so common in ales. We brew lagers because we enjoy their smooth malty and hoppy character.

Taster shared with Ryan. Appearance: clear copper with a tan head. Aroma: roasted malt, some honey and molasses. Taste: along the same lines, some flowery notes. Lots of hops, but just a bit of bitterness. Overall: not bad.

,16oz can from Tavour. Clear golden pour, spotty white foamy head. Light smoky aroma. Taste is more smoke and bready malts. For me, who enjoys this style, the smokiness is very mellow. A bit of dry, bitterness at the finish. Very smooth and approachable

This has a gold colour, not much head. Saazy, medium bitterness, a bit of sweetness. Good balance. Good grassy hop note, too.
