Puma
Rhinegeist Brewery

 

Canned on 5/16/19 or 6/16/19; it's hard to make out the month. 12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours a light golden with a mild haze; nice fluffy and creamy eggshell white head that falls leaving nice retention and lacing. The aromas have some citrus and floral notes. There's a hop presence to this one. Hints of bread. Malts are there. The flavors have some citrus going on as well. More hints of bread and crackers. Moderate bitterness. Malts do their thing without dominating. Finishes juicy and dry at the same time. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is nice. It's on the fuller side of light-bodied with active carbonation. It's sharp, slightly fluffy, smooth and easy to drink.

This is a solid brew. It kind of has a "hoppy pilsener/lager" vibe going on, but still has some traditional qualities. It's clean and refreshing. Not bad at all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got a 6pck of this from the beer store around the corner. It poured a clear golden with white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had hints of bread. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it was a solid beer.

 

 

 

Look - light golden yellow color lots of carbonation and lasting film
Smell - very faint scent but almost all grain
Taste - lacking much taste, grainy like the smell
Feel - medium body with a fizzy carbonation
Overall - needs more taste

 

 

 

 

 

Just starting to study this style. Clear golden color. Clean, crips mineral flavor with nice effervescence. So good on a hot July day. Very nice balance to the beer with a supporting bitterness throughout.

A: Pours a relatively clear medium yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and faint pale golden yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall foamy white head that reduces to a couple of small patches of thin film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Just shy of moderate aromas of bready malts with a light to moderate aroma of spicy + grassy hops.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of bready malts with light amounts of cracker malts and a slight amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by light flavors of spicy + grassy hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away pretty quickly.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp and clean with a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Refreshing, enjoyable, and easy to drink - a touch sweeter than German breweries take on the style but not over the top and the hint of dryness in the finish is really nice. Alcohol is well hidden and I could definitely see myself enjoying a couple of these on a hot summer afternoon.
