One of the best lagers I’ve ever had!

 

 

 

 

Pours a kind of drab golden-orange color. Cloudy with a thin, weak sudsy white head. Head does not show much in the way of retention. Aroma has notes of sweet bread, grain, some DMS notes, a touch of honey with some grassy, spicy hop notes. The aroma reminds me of an older Czech lager/pilsner - so in that sense they seem to have nailed the aroma.

The taste has notes of sweet bread, some dried hay, sweet honey notes and a noticeable amount of DMS on the profile. Grassy, lightly spicy hops come through on the back end. The profile is a very good representative of the style, however it falls squarely on the sweeter side of the spectrum which I tend to like less. Feel is medium bodied for the style, smooth and crisp. Bright, lively carbonation.

Overall it is a nice Czech pilsner. It was canned in September and is definitely a little long in the tooth, but the profile really does do a good job capturing the style.

Can purchased at Gaku Ramen in Burlington, VT.

This one pours a mostly clear golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like grainy malt and rustic corn like aromas, with some spicy hops and black tea.

This is simple, but well done, with a light but firm hop character, and a pleasantly grainy-sweet malt character.

This feels maybe a little "big" so to speak in the mouthfeel department, at least compared to what you expect for the style. It's still pretty drinkable overall.

This is a solid little rustic-feeling lager from one of the more underrated breweries in Vermont.

From the pint can, it pours a clear amber color with a nice white head that slowly reduces as you watch and leaves a bit of lacing. The nose gets a dose of buttery malt with a touch of hops. The mouth gets a bit of bitter over malt. Pleasant.

 

 

 

 

 

Chill hazed burnt gold with a short white head quickly dying to a bubbly collar.

Grilled corn with a touch of butter introduces the smoothly rounded medium body. A little toasty quality with a grape skin contrast redeems the tepid intro before finishing just dry.

Meh.
