All Souls Lager
Otter Creek Brewing

 

 

Around a medium body with about the same for carbonation
Aroma is malt forward, bread,grain,toast, just a bit of dark fruit
Taste is again malt forward,mildly sweet with just a tad bit of grain bitterness. Toast and bread linger in the aftertaste.
It's a good session beer as well as going well with certain foods. Enjoyed it and would try again

POssibly a canning date but hard to tell, if so that's not good, 3/21/19
Pours a med-small foamy head with med retention, mostly clear slight chill haze darker tan color, touch of lacing

Nose brings sweet malts, a bit toasty with a touch of caramel, biscuity even, quite grainy and malty, herbal tea like hops, iced tea, little fruity and aged malt character (which I will give them the benefit of the doubt is from the old can)

Taste brings more malt up front, toasty grainy mild caramel sweetness with a little husky note, sweet copper malt and quite a bit of it, mild herbal tea hops again and again that iced tea character, little fruitiness, low bitterness, a bit of a soft crisp lager finish, touch more bitterness

Mouth is med to a bit lighter bod, med to a bit higher carb, mild soft lager notes

Overall not bad, def seems a bit aged unfortunately, but otherwise a pretty interesting lager, not the hops I normally would choose but enjoyable nonetheless.

Can from Harvest Market
Brilliantly clear dark amber in color with a good sized bubbly off white head that persists. Bready toasty cereal graininess with a mild sweetness. Earthy floral hops. Crushable.

 

 

 

This is a very pleasant lager, or rather marzen-style brew. Warm malt palate, nice mild hop bittering at finish. Not much floral aroma, but just right for the style. Wish they would change the name and brew it year round...

L - Poured deep amber/copper with near two-finger, off -white head. Little to no retention and lacing.
S - Toasty/bready. Subtle hints of apple cider.
T - Decently malty and filled the nose.
F - Light to medium mouthfeel with some crispness.
O - An easy drinker, for sure.

 

This is really beCANming my Summer of Lagers, especially Pilsners, if you CAN believe it! The CANQuest (tm) is burgeoning as a result & I CANnot be happier.

From the CAN: "*A Vermont Collaboration*Otter Creek Brewing Co*All Souls Tortilleria"; "A refreshing Lager brewed with locally-grown Heirloom Hominy from our friends at All Souls Tortelleria. Grab a seat at the table and enjoy this easy-drinking beer alongside friends."; "Creatively crafting, hopping and dosing brews since 1991".

I was anxious to start the Crack! & Glug simply because this was a beer that I had wanted to try for a while. The Crack! was nice & loud & so I followed it with a slow, gentle, steady C-Line Glug. I was rewarded by/with the immediate formation of just under two fingers of foamy, fizzy, soapy, light-tan head with modest retention. Color was Deep-Amber/Light-Copper to Copper (SRM = > 13, < 17) with NE-quality clarity. Beautiful! Nose had a toasty, bready quality, just better than doughy. Mmm. Mouthfeel was medium, about on-par for the style. The taste was very malty, very evocative of toasted bread. Mmm! Finish was semi-sweet but entirely refreshing. I CAN foresee CANcentrating on Lagers & especially Pilsners for the rest of the Summer. YMMV.

 

This one pours a lightly amber yellowish color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like brown bread, crackery malt, lightly grassy and piney hops, and a touch of sweetness.

This is a simple and basic amber lager, but it's done well. It's clean with no major flaws, with a solid bready malt backbone, and only a very light sweetness. The hop character is definitely mild, but supports the malt backbone with a light and clean bitterness.

This is light bodied, very crisp, with a nice bite. It's very drinkable, and great for a hotter day. I'd imagine it would pair well with Mexican food - hence the collaboration with All Souls Tortilleria.

This is nothing that's gonna blow your socks off - just a well brewed and very drinkable lager.

I love beer and All Souls is my new favorite. It's really refreshing yet flavorful! For me it's perfectly balanced. Not real fizzy or heavy and not to light and flavorless. It's really impressive.

 

 

 

 

From the 12 fl. Oz. can stamped 010219. Sampled on March 8, 2019.

Attractive copper medium amber pour with a modest yet fading cream colored head. Decent clarity.

I get those brown bread, caramel, cracker, and biscuit malt characters in the nose. But also a yeast, cooked vegetable character.

The mouthfeel is nice at a little better than medium.

The taste is sweet, oily, and soupy, with a subtle floral hop note.
