Lizzy's Lager
Orlison Brewing Co.

I have not forgotten this beer and I only had 2 when I was in Washington. Such a great Amber.

Undated pint can at $2.49USD.

Pours with a clear copper colored body that has good clarity and that is covered by a foamy, light beige head. Plenty of lacing.
Clearly off aroma and some undesirable flavors indicate a bad batch. While the can is undated, this was a recent arrival at my local beer store, so I'll blame the brewer. The malts are almost completely masked in the nose and largely masked in the taste.

Smooth, medium+ body with medium carbonation.

 

 

16 ounce can served room temp.

Pours a clear copper, 2 finger head of foam, minor lacing.

Caramel malt and grain in the smell...definitely leans towards the sweetish side. A mild butterscotch note or 2. No discernible bitterness to me.

Caramel malty taste with some notes of bread and grain, quite sweet overall as there's little of a bitter factor here. Okay, right at the end of the finish, I get some sort of orange like flavour. More sips and that orange does permeate nearly every step of the session. Nice.

Almost medium bodied with adequate carbonation.

This is getting old. Yet another tasty Lager from Orlison. lol.

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a medium to dark bronze amber with a half finger off-white head that dissipates to patches and good lacing. Aroma of grainy, mildly caramel malt, apple juice, slight grassy hops. Flavor is nutty biscuit malt, tea, hints of toasted malt; finishes with grassy hops and tea bitterness. Medium bodied with light carbonation. An amber ale that starts with a mild nutty maltiness, but finishes with an odd tea like astringent bitterness that has little herbal hop flavor to it. Nothing exciting, but a decent mildly hopped amber ale. Nice looking.

16 oz can bought from "Lifesource" in Salem OR $2.49 Called Lizzy’s Red Craft Lager here. Pours a pale copper colour with a large boisterous creamy off white head. Smells like an English ale.tobacco,leaves,bit of nuttiness..nice . Taste has a bit more hop bite but its the same as the aroma..slight sourness and a dry earthy finish. Palate is fine..lowish carbonation and medium mouth feel. Nice beer but if I had this and not seen the can I would have thought it a old style English ESB/strong bitter!!

 

 

 

 

Handsome coppery color in the tall Stella goblet with a fine pile of foam. Spritzy in the mouth with long-lasting suds, lacing even. The smell is faintly acidic.

Sugary and thin at first sip. Quite a bitter aftertaste after the malty pleasure. Rather winey. This seems like a flat sweet taste with hints of cardoard, followed by a rather medicinal bitterness with no real hop aromatics. It's the sweet and bitter routine.

This is very pretty stuff, and pleasantly sudsy, but I get tired of these bitterish, sweetish, dishwatery nondescript amber beers. Oh, well-- goes down easy enough. From the 16 oz can purchased at Wine World and Spirits in north Seattle.

 

Poured from 16oz tall can into a pint glass.

Appearance: crystal-clear medium-amber hue with a strong effervescence and a thin finger of frothy tan foam. Not as much head as I'd like, but the color is great.

Smell: caramelly and sweet, with a touch of biscuit; hops are basically not present. Not too bad, but a bit one-note.

Taste: similar to the aroma, but with more biscuit character and an added fruitiness. There's definitely a little banana character here, which I like and which offsets the biscuit a little.

Mouthfeel: medium-light body with with a good carbonation and a satisfying creaminess. I like it.

Overall: a drinkable and tasty-enough red lager. Definitely worth a shot if you're into the style.
