This was my 4th beer from this Brewing as I came back another day to enjoy many more from Sarasota Brewing Co and review their beers. This Pale Lager was poured into a Pint glass and I was able to talk with the main Brewmaster, Vince, about this Lager and their Winter Imperial Pils in which they brew only on a Seasonal/Rotating schedule. Great to be able to enjoy the beer with the man who makes it!

Appearance- A dark-yellow lager, crisp and clear, and had 2 fingers of head. This head disappeared quickly (weak retention) and left hardly no lace or trails of any head behind.

Smell- A very light malty scent and medium hops character. Almost as if it was a pale ale.

Taste- The malty character came out again and then a strong hit of lemon hops hit the mouth. A yeast characteristic can also be contributed to the taste or mouthfeel.

Mouthfeel- Light-Medium Bodied with a dry finish. There is a creamy texture also included in this beer. Bitterness is highly left on the palate while it is also smooth. Nice beer all around!

Drinkability- Simple and easy to enjoy! The lemon hops or this pale ale characteristic made me think a lot about this style but Vince convinced me it was a American Pale Lager in how the Brew Process was explained to me (fermented with lager yeast at ale temperatures). This is another I would love to try again but may be hard since it is on Rotation at this Brewery.
