Celtic Rain
Occidental Brewing Co.

Look: Crystal clear and copper in the glass with a busy head that puckers away to a lid and leaves nice lacing behind

Aroma: Cereal grains, light floral hop notes, soda crackers, and wafts of freshly baked biscuits

Taste: Whoa – the is bringing much more flavor than I got in the nose. Waves of crackers, biscuits, bread, and grains kick it off and remind me somewhat of a Kellerbier as they deepen. Floral hops trickle in throughout and blend harmoniously as the malt train keeps the reigns through the close

Mouthfeel: Full but light, very clean, medium-high carbonation, and clean and crisp on the finish

Overall: This is some good stuff. I try everything these folks make and wanted to try this when I first spotted it a few weeks back so finally scored some. My nose could be off today but this smelled like a simple American Lager – even a light lager or AAL but don’t be fooled – it’s tasty. It reminds me of sort of an Irish Lager, like Harp, meets a Kellerbier (read: more flavorful) and it all comes together in a well-made, quaffable package. Check it out

Don't remember the beers from this brewery specifically as it has been a number of years since we were there. But I do remember there was not an even an average one in the beers I tried. All were very good.
