Beermuda Hoppy Lager
Latitude 33 Brewing Company

Bright clear yellow with abundant white foam in the thistle glass. Delightfully aromatic with green melon and guava. I'm thinking of a Pilsner, with the flavors of grain and hops intertwined almost delicately. Light berry flavor with a spiciness is what makes this so interesting. Some malt taste but just slightly sweet.

So clean and refreshing with a nice mouthful of carbonation. Also less bitter than many of the Pilsners tha showcase hops. This is the kind of light yet fragrant brew we need more of. From the 16 oz can purchased at Barons Market.

Picked this up after heading to Windmill Farms to get some beer for Chad and Bill. I basically saw Latitude 33 and Hoppy Lager and I was in. Can label read, “This past summer we teamed up with Second Chance and Artifex Brewing for a hoppy twist on a crisp lager. Beermuda is a bright, refreshing lager dry-hopped with Southern Passion, German Callista, and Ahtanum hops. Floral, fruity, and delicate, Beermuda hoppy lager will cause you to disappear into a mysterious ecstasy of satisfaction. Beermuda is the perfect representation of three great breweries coming together to shape an even better beer.” For sure my first time having Ahtanum, maybe my first or second time having German Callista and maybe my second or third time having Southern Passion.

Poured a pale yellow-to-medium yellow clear color with 2-to-3 fingers of off-white frothy head. Lots of bubble streams coming up from the bottom of the glass at different speeds. Excellent uneven lacing. Perfect retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Smelled dish soap, lime, lemon zest, peach, apricot, stone fruit, passion fruit, floral, grapefruit, pear and hints of green apple. More fruit from the can, mainly pear, green apple and peach, with some earthy pilsner malt. (Smell - 4.00)

Tasted a little better than the smell. Got passion fruit, pear, peach, apricot, light green apple, lime, lemon, dish soap, grapefruit, grass and lingering pepper spice. (Taste - 4.25)

Light body. Thin texture. Lively carbonation. Clean, crisp finish. (Feel - 4.25)

Just an excellent hoppy lager. Really good. (Overall - 4.25)
