Mouth is med bod, soft lager, med carb

Overall pretty good

 

 

Second beer I rocked at this place on a hot afternoon, June 2023.

Pours light yellow golden with good clarity. 1/3" white head. Aroma has some grain to it alongside what seems like a classic German helles/lager yeast. Not much else. Words like bready and biscuity often go here.

The taste and mouthfeel have a heavier feel to them than the appearance of the beer would suggest. Not saying that was a bad thing, almost a good thing I think, yes it is. Has many of the saison feels outside of the yeast. You know, hay, grain, barn, hot weather beer breadiness. Still a good crisp snap to it. Makes sense given the temperature in Austin. That Danhausen Bulls shirt is dope.

Nothing aggressive in the mouth feel, adequate carbonation, dialed in on the low hop usage. Everything seems in place and appropriate for style, geography and therefore climate.

I'd say its another solid lager from ABGB. Great patio area or area overall here.

Ppur at de Garde 10th Anniversary. Pale golden pour with a small white foamy head. malty aroma, biscuity. taste is more of the bready malts while a adding a nice grassy hoppiness to the finish. Clean, crisp.

 

Pours completely clear and gold. Light aroma. Crisp touch of biscuit malt and a snap of hops. You don’t have to think about this too hard, but you can think about it too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

32oz Crowler canned at the brewery 12-8-18
1" white head with decent retention...ends up as a solid cap after 3-4 minutes. Golden, clean, brilliant lager with a continual carbonation stream.
Very alluring sweet and bready in the aroma. A bit of a noble and hay.
Wonderful bready malt flavor and a touch of spicy hop late. Elegant but not delicate. A match for any fare.
Light to medium body, south of medium carbonation. Soft mouthfeel and a dry finish.
This is a delicious beer, maybe good I don't have easy access to it but it would be a regular in the fridge and maybe even would need a keg of it.

Clear yellow color with a lot of rising bubbles. Thin white head. Spicy, earthy hop profile. Biscuit malt finish. Fits the bill for a beer you want a few of while at a concert.

 

a well made helles lager here, i thought all the pale lagers i had in here were very good, and they offer a fair few of them, lots of beat the heat types of beers in here, and this is a good one, although for its low alcohol and dry grain character, it does have a little bit of body to it, especially for the style, but its not at all a turn off for me, and this stays really drinkable throughout. the yeast is what makes this stand out to me, its the classic german flavor, but fresher than it ever tastes in the imports, not tired and dropped out yet, despite this being clear and well refined visually and texturally, the yeast has a lot of character. less hoppy than their rocket 100, but more grain flavor to me, which is european in nature and just a touch sweet. helles is simple beer by nature, and this is simple beer, its well made and there is nowhere to hide flaws, and there arent any. none of the beer we had in here was overly inventive (an apple sour was the closest they came to that), but all of them were professionally done and really drinkable and satisfying. a very solid and classic helles here.
