Description
Launched in 2010, Notch Brewing – named for the nick made to keep a record when you're having more than one – was the first brewing company in the U.S. to focus exclusively on session beer. At the time, we simply wanted to brew the beers we loved to drink because finding them was a challenge. Session beer has been enjoyed in every great beer brewing nation for centuries, yet in the U.S. it was overlooked. So we set out to brew the world’s classic session styles from the Czech Republic, Germany, England, and Belgium, as well as explore how session beer could fit with the U.S.’s hoppy beer infatuation. Over a decade later, we have a brewery built on the back of session beer and it’s proven two things: beer consumers like options, and session beer is a great one.

Can. Golden pour. Aroma of dry grassy yeast, malt and mild pepper. Taste has dry yeast, sweet ester, malt, mild pepper and a herbal grassy note. Allright.

Better than most dunkels but I feel like that means it isn’t a dunkel. Light roast and some lightly soured malt, dunkel styke. Pours black with decent head. Average carbonation. Light bitter finish with some hint of sourness. Tap at Lord hobo.

Can @ home. Clear yellow to light orange color, full sized white head that lasts for quite a while and leaves good lacing. Smell and taste moderately malty, a hint of orangepeel, yeast, some fruitpeel bitter and a slight touch of (bitter) hops. Decent body and carbonation.

Bukowski, Boston tap: poura gold with a white head. Aroma is grainy and lightly hoppy. Taste is lightly bitter. Not exactly watery. Very slightly sweet. Does work as a czech pils. Pretty good.

355 ml. can @ train. Purchased @ Malt Attacks. Bottle of the can says 03/12/15 – not sure if bottled on or bbf. Drank straight from the can. Appears to be quite pale golden as far as I can see. Taste is a bit weak, mineral, boring apple, which sugar, touch watery, almost a bit industrial tasting, some hay, light grass. A touch watery, sparkling & mineral body. Rather weak but one that can be easily pounded.
