Schonbrauhaus Lager
Southern Bay Brewing Company

 

Murky with bugger all lace and aweak head
Honey smells , very similar to their "Premium Lager",but probably more tending to rancid.
No honey flavours here , just a bit of watery bitter ginger with a dollop of sourness
Watery mouthfeel , cant feel any sensation of carbonation.
This equates to a home brew kit beer made by a novice.
Sadly I think that this Company is the worst non mainstream brewery in Australia
The label bangs on about the German Purity Laws.These guys should be convicted

This is the weirdest colour. Most lagers have some hint of gold or amber. But this is a fawny light brown straw....with almost a pink blush in it. Good white head, and bubbles.
Green, vegetal hop aroma... maybe a touch of green mango but a slight hint of dry sherry. I think this bottle may be slightly oxidised.
Good hoppy flavour, and some toasty malt notes. An interesting nutty flavour backs it up, perhaps supporting my oxidation theory.
Lightly bittered.
After a second bottle, I am definitely picking up a dry sherry flavour (nutty, slightly rancid).
All up not a bad tasting beer, just a bit disconcerting. I've had a lot worse.
