Have always loved porters and stouts. In recent years I have grown to really enjoy European and American lagers.

16 oz draft at Republic GastroPub, Bloomfield, CT. Crystal clear golden appearance. Flavor is soft corn, bread, very light lingering salt. It shows a mild salinity in the finish. Light bodied. Crisp texture. The brewer hit his mark for a lager that would pair well with Mexican food.

12 oz draft. Let me say that galaxy is not my favorite hop at all. Flavor has a good cracker / bread and oak background to help balance the lightly fruity, strong pine / resin like character. Mouthfeel is nice and supple. As it warmed I did get tropical fruit. Just a touch stronger in Pine/ resin that I want personally.

12 oz draft. Aroma shows me lemon rind, subtle oak, mild yeast. Flavor is a direct reflection. Oak and tartness are subtle. A bolder juicer lemon character with a floral hint that comes in the finish. Very well rounded.

12 oz draft. Aroma shows mild passion fruit, mineral and mellow brettanomyces. Flavor has the passionfruit forward with very mild acid. Citrus rind hints. Funk and tartness is low. Exceptionally well balanced. Fantastic!

12 oz draft. Aroma has Bready, honey -ish malt and mineral notes. Wonderful malt blend in the flavor. Bread and honey dominate with hints of minerals and very soft toffee. Also has a hint of acid with a weak hop in order to give some balance. Super crisp texture with a great malt background. Great.

4 oz draft @ Dead Language. Aroma is bold apple brandy and supportive malts. In the flavor the apple brandy is pretty smooth with notes of oak and soft toffee malts. Medium and body and finishes on soft oak. Soft ABV. Yet, this is pretty righteous !

12 oz draft. Aroma and flavor or subtle. Soft bubblegum, banana, and bread like malt. Flavor overall is mild with a lighter body (as it should be ) Overall, drinkable with the German yeast still having a bolder character. Good.
