12oz bottle. Bottled on and batch # on the back label. Pours a very pale golden brew with a touch of haze, moderate carbonation, and a a fizzy foam head that quickly settles to a thin bubble lace. Haze clears up as the beer warms.
Aroma is malty, with bready notes, and sweet colver polen floral hop nose beneath.
Smooth upfront. Surprisingly malty and rich (for the color), with a very unique touch of clover / honey-like sweetness, a wonderful bold toasted malt character with freshly baked bread crust flavors. Herbal, earthy and rind bitter flash, backed by a quick seltzer carbonation, provides a refreshing crispness. Flavors soften into light metallic notes, grain husks, some hop leaf in the feel, and a slight roughening of the palate. More bready notes at the finish with a residual light hop oil character.
A most quaffable and enjoyable lager, packed with interesting and complex flavors. In New England this is a rare treat, so kudos to Otter Creek for brewing a craft lager!

A: Pours a straw yellow color with a fingers worth of head that fades down to a decent cap
S: Mostly grainy with notes of fruitiness and spicy European hops. Pilsner malt present as well
T: Follows the nose. Starts off with hits of pilsner malt and grain, followed by a very light fruitiness and spiciness. Finishes with lingering graininess
M: Light-medium bodied with moderate carbonation
O: A solid summer pilsner with moderate drinkability. Has some nice subtleties that keep you coming back for more

07/25/13 At Rattle N Hum, NYC. On tap. Nice & refreshing. I could drink this all day if I wasn't so distracted by the other 39 taps. The nice dry finish makes you want just one more, which must be intentional. Well done.
