1970's Lager
Faction Brewing

 

Easy to put away several without feeling much effect.

Super light and easy drinking dad lager with a thin body and a crisp finish. Pairs well with sunny days and long bike rides. No need to overthink this one.

A: Pours a crystal clear pale yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and faint bright yellow + very pale golden yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall fizzy foamy bright white head that quickly reduces to a large patch of very slightly mottled thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of cereal grain malts with a light amount of corn adjunct sweetness. Light to moderate aromas of lager yeast. Hints of grassy hops.

T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of bready + cereal grain malts with a light to moderate amount of corn adjunct sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of lager yeast. Finally there are light flavors of grassy hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away fairly quickly leaving a clean finish.

M: Light bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Crisp with a clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a refreshingly crisp + clean mouthfeel - the relatively low ABV makes this beer quite easily sessionable. Clean aromas + flavors traditional for the style. Decently balanced.

I can’t really say that the 1970s tingle my Pringle. I mean, the Beatles had just broken up. And, well… What else is there in life? I guess “Network” was good… And Cassavetes did his thing… But what else was there to like? Bad weed? No, Raul isn’t into it. But this beer does the trick like a good magic one. Yeah, like a cool monkey or something… Well, actually like a CGI one (because to hell with animal cruelty). Either way, I’m lost in feeling because with this beer I have no feeling. Right now I have no feeling.
