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.

16 ounce can. Honey gold pour. Large, frothy white head. Bready malt aroma hints at herbal hops. Flavor is malty with citrusy overtones. Clean and crisp with a balance of hay and cut grass. Very nice.

473mL can, pours a somewhat hazy copper golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out a nice spicy, grassy hop character, a touch of cracked black pepper, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp, with a nice herbaceous hop character, light spiciness, and crisp biscuity malt. I've had more vibrant helleses before, but this is clean and thirst-quenching. Good but perhaps not at the highest level that Heater Allen is known for.

Can shared with others. Pours a beer clear dirty amber brown with a tan head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has lots of bread with a slight sweetness and leafiness backing. Flavor lots of bread and light sweet grains with a slight leafy note supporting.
