Longliner Lager
Cape May Brewing Company

Clear, golden color. Medium-sized, white head.Malt, citrus, and grass in the aroma. Moderately bitter, crisp, and refreshing. A good everyday pilsener.

Close to what a crafted American Lager should do. Longliner Looks very good, full foam and lace sticks around. Smells mostly of malt and a touch of lemon. Tastes follow, but introduce hops and they linger; reminding me of a pils. Medium-mouthed and refreshing.

I bought a variety 12-pack from Cape May and two Longliners left. I will develop this review further. Worth having again.

This beer pours a rich, champagne color with significant carbonation. The head dissipates rather quickly. The aroma spicy, malty, and sweet. The taste is nicely bitter and crisp, with citrus undertones.

 

Poured from a 12 oz can into a Willi Becher style glass. Look is solid gold with a lot of active carbonation bubbling up. A finger and a half of white foam forms a head that slowly reduces. Smell is lemon and bready malt; very pleasant. Taste follows nose with a nice balance between the malt and the hops. Starts with a bit of sweet bready malt, the lemon flavor kicks in in the middle along with some bitterness, and the finish ends pretty clean with a bit of a lemon grass aftertaste. The feel is light bodied and high carbonation. It coats the tongue a bit yet is still light and refreshing. Overall, the can says the beer is "Crisp. Snappy. Balanced." I would agree with this assessment. I find this an easy sipper. I think I'd go for a bit less ABV if I'm taking this to the beach (it's 5%...not overwhelming, but I'd prefer lower in sun and heat). Good beer though.

 

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of malts, a bit of lemons. Taste follows the aroma, some grassiness as well. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

 

 

L: Clear gold body with a frothy merengue-like white head.

S: Grassy hops, light bread, lemon zest

T: Pilsner malt, honey, grassy hops

F: Crisp, clean, dry

O: Good easy drinking lager

12oz can served in a pilsner glass. Can is dated 042523. Got it from @jonphisher a while ago.

Pours clear pale yellow with a largish head that settles quickly into a thick skin crawling about a centimeter up the side of the glass. Definitely some active carbonation, but it's pretty fine and surprisingly slow. Smell is mild lemon, yeasty dough, some grass.

Taste is definitely on the bitter side, lots of grassy notes, something a bit earthy, yeastiness is toned down as compared to the aroma. Light honey sweetness in the background.

Mouthfeel is light, clean, and dry. Overall, I think this is good.

 

12 oz can, 13 or 14 bucks for the 6 pack. Can states that it is unfiltered... but pouring it out reveals a very filtered beer. Also the can mentions balance. Can report it is lacking in malt flavor, although it is a good beer. Nothing spectacular for sure. Average craft lager.
