Inspired by the beers that sustained monks during Lent, this hearty lager has a clean malt profile with a touch of sweetness and is easy drinking yet immensely satisfying. A crisp lager that will take us through the end of winter and into warmer Spring days.

On-tap @ Fifth Hammer Brewing in Long Island City, NY.
Served in a teku glass. Medium amber with brilliant clarity. Small white head that leaves behind a good amount of lacing. Light toffee and malt sweetness in the aroma. Flavor is on point for the style with a balance towards the malts. Light floral hops round things out. Very clean in the finish. Easy to drink despite the 7% ABV. Dangerous stuff!

A: The beer is hazy amber orange in color and appears to be light caramel brown in color when viewed from a distance. It poured with a quarter finger high off white head that left a small patch of bubbles on the surface, a collar around the edge, a thin film of bubbles in between, and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of bready malts, fruity yeast and spicy hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of multi-grain bread with notes of spicy hops. While only a slight amount of bitterness is perceptible, there are enough underlying hops to mask any sweetness from the malts.
M: It feels between medium and medium- to full-bodied and a bit smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This has a nice full body and is easy to drink as it manages to hide any traces of alcohol from the taste.
Serving type: can

A: Fire orange. Chilled haziness.
A: Woody-grain sweetness.
M: Surprisingly juicy and a clean, crisp finish.
T: Touch of underripe strawberry. Malt is toasty to start and then picks up with Jewish rye and a caramel sweetness.

Pours a clear amber color with a creamy head.
The aroma evokes bready, toasty malts and sweet cereal grain. There is a touch of fruity hops and a faint hint of alcohol.
The taste highlights a complex malt profile and is sweet and sticky. Flavors of caramel, fruity malt and hops, honey, grape, and apple. The malts are toasty and with a dry finish. There is some alcohol spice that demonstrates Bock strength. Well hopped with some earthy bitterness and citrusy lemony flavors.
Medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Well balanced, sticky, and spicy with some alcohol warmth.
A really fine example of the style.
