New Normal
Smog City Brewing Co.

16 oz can.
Wow, she pours a crystal clear golden beauty. Fluffy white head, rises 2 fingers in elevation and slowly recedes to a thin cap. Good retention with slight lacing.
Nose starts with a smooth, mildly sweet grain note, followed by a tantalizing floral spice note that is both peppery and citrusy.
Flavor is all of the above and more. The grain note is more nuanced with a hint of toasted bread. All is really blended well together to form a cohesive, blissful drink. So balanced. Could crush these all summer.
Mouthfeel is on the light side, but not thin. Moderate carbonation keep it all moving, and the finish starts a tad sweet and then closes thing out with a drying, slightly bitter kiss goodbye.

 

 

New Normal is a clean amber color, big head and ample carbonation. Has a sweet malt aroma. Taste is light sweet malt and a little bitterness. It tastes more of a Dortmunder than lager and is good. Mouthfeel is medium and bitterness lingers. Overall a fine tasting Dortmunder. Thanks for sharing Raul!! Canned 02/15/22

Wow. For reals on it. This offering is like Dumbo’s cousin that was born in the tropics - all kinds of wild. It sparks like the 4th of July and makes a player say, “Oh my.” So just, like, get it, my peeps.

Hooray!
