Sparkling Lager
Wayfinder Beer

 

 

Look: Bright yellow in color and my pour initiates the formation of a booming white head that slowly puckers away to a pillow, leaving good lacing behind

Aroma: Straw, pilsner malt, floral notes, soda crackers, cut grass, and a light, honey-like sweet note

Taste: Opens up with a plethora of floral goodness that includes Stephan’s jasmine, rock daphne, tea rose, and European olive, along with a light, almost nectar-like sweet note. The cracker-led malt pushes through in the middle as the floral hops continue to develop and assert themselves until it closes out with crackers and sweet flowers

Mouthfeel: Light but full, clean, medium-high carbonation, and crisp and clean on the finish

Overall: This is some good stuff. I’m note sure what I’d classify this Sparkling Lager as to me, it’s part German Pils, part hoppy lager, and part strong Euro pale lager, but who cares because it’s damn tasty and refreshing. A ton of floral hops going on and a nice balance throughout, further proof that these folks’ lager game is [still] on-point. Recommended

Clear golden body, sparkling white foam head and plenty of lacing. Nose stars bready yeast and grassy hops all the way. Taste adds dough, lemon, and subtle grain. Feel is lively, bright, higher carb, easy drinking yet creamy and lush without getting heavy at all. The wife loved it
