Time Out Lager
Charly's Brew Pub & Grill

Very clear and a very light yellow colour with bright white foam. Fair head retention with sticky sheets of lace stuck to the glass. The aroma was a little fruity and floral, some cereal grain. Unfortunately, this was accompanied by a bit of DMS and vegetal notes. Very low bitterness with some grain and husk character, light fruitiness, and a lingering off-taste. Light bodied with carbonation on the high side. The texture was a little soapy and slick, yet still quite dry. It was about what I expected - it had some problems but was still drinkable.

Better than your average lager. Looks nice with a tight white head and a clear pale yellow coloring with a only a slight chill haze. I could smell some good malt but near zero hop presence and the standard lager yeast smell. The taste is a bit surprising as it really has some flavor to it. I could see this right next to your MGD or PBR with a better finish and a fuller body. Despite the bigger shoulders this is still a beer made for the masses and can be had during happy hour for $5 a pitcher. A good start I wish they would add more beers to their line.

This arrived with a rocky, bright-white head with decent retention. It was a very pale-yellow colored beer with not much going on in the nose. I detected maybe a light hop bitterness, but even that was a stretch. The mouthfeel was rather thin with a slight bitterness on the palate. The finish had a light, honey-like sweetness to it that fairly screamed “Lager!” It was an okay beer and I think that it’s pretty impressive that they make their own.
