Triple Crossing Brewing

The beer pours a nice white and foamy head that disappears fairly quickly while the beer itself is a clear brownish amber. It looks nice.

The smell has an earthy bitterness with a clean and sweet yeast note.

The taste has more going on with it than the smell. It has an earthy hop bitterness along a honey sweet note. However, there is also a lightly roasted malt and caramel malt backbone profile that finishes with that roasted note.

The feel is medium bodied beer with a smooth texture and clean finish. It is slightly sticky but it's barely noticeable.

Overall, this is a pretty good and refreshing beer to have on a hot day. It's also pretty delicious.

 

 

Poured from a 12 oz can dated 11/10/21 into a Willi Becher pint glass.
L - Pours a clear medium amber color with a nice white head that dissipates slowly.
S - Smells of bready malts.
T - Tastes crisp with a nice malty backbone.
F - Medium body and carbonation.
O - This is a nice change of pace beer. Very nice Kellerbier. I need more Triple Crossing lagers in my fridge.

A: Pours a hazy deep copper in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass, moderate amounts of fine particles in suspension, and a moderate amount of amber + brassy + honey + ruby red colored highlights. The beer has a finger tall dense sudsy foamy beige head that slowly reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled thin film covering a little more than 85% of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of bready + biscuit + grainy malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. Slightly heavier than light aromas of herbal + floral + citrus/orange pith hops. Moderate aromas of lager yeast.

T: Upfront there are slightly heavier than moderate flavors of bready + biscuit + grainy malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by moderate flavors of lager yeast. Finally there is a slightly heavier than light flavor of herbal + floral + citrus/orange pith hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which slowly fades away leaving light lingering lager yeast flavors.

M : Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Lightly crisp initially with a light softness and a hint of dryness.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a refreshing mouthfeel. Enjoyable with a pleasant maltiness and hop profile with a big contribution from the lager yeast.
