McKenzie Light Lager

Draft at the brewpub.

Pours a pale golden yellow color with a one finger white head that quickly settles into lasting ring.  Spotty lacing left behind.

Sligtly floral, grassy hop aroma but otherwise bland with pale malt and grain. Little bit of light fruit.  

Medium bodied and more interesting than the nose suggests.  Crisp hop bite lingers over lighter body and is counters by hints of grass, straw, light fruit and pale malt.  Slightly grainy but not adjunct like.  Toward the end if the palate I'm picking up some bread, biscuit and apple/pear sweetness.  Not very interesting but it's light and refreshing with a nice hop bite.  

 

A clear, very light and pale gold beer with a small head and decent lacing. Grainy malt nose with a touch of honey sweetness and a very mild floral hop note.

Flavor follows the nose; it’s simple and straightforward but decently tasty for a light lager; again there is some grainy maltiness and a trace of floral hops; a bit sweet with honey and caramel.

Light body, crisp and refreshing, although it could clean up and finish a bit drier. Not bad but also clearly for the non-craft drinkers in the crowd.

 

 

 

Pours an extremely pale yellow with very little head. The nose is extremely light with notes of grains, corn, and herbal hops. The flavor is again very faint, grains and corn up front, citric hops with an herbal note and touch of bitterness. The body is thin, crisp, failing in the finish.

 

 

 

Pours a faintly hazed bright golden straw, moderate cap of frothy white head, decent retention. Scent is mild, notes of musty grass without much else going on, hints of fusel alcohol on the tail end. Taste begins as expected, a typical light lager with more grassyness to the taste, oooputting twang towards the back end. Light bodied, undercarbonated for style. Passable light lager - not much else to say about it.
