12 fl oz pull-tab can ($14.99 USD/sixer):
"Lager aged in oak foeders." 5.2% ABV. "Foeder lager."
The kiss of oak really sets it off, bringing faint vanillin and even some buttery flavours to this otherwise straightforward lager. I think I get a blip of Noble hop grassiness, but I'd rule out Saaz - it's not spicy in the way Saaz usually is. Malt backbone is 2-row and probably pilsner malt. I find no adjunct.
Oddly creamy on the palate, which emphasizes the buttery white oak to bad effect...I'd imagine a bit more dryness on the palate would bring out its more desirable slight funky and rustic flavours.
A clean drinking lager with a funky wildcard thrown in. It's highly drinkable with a bit of rustic flair, but I don't know that I could justify shelling out $15+ a sixer for it again. Oak presence could be dialed up and a bit more Noble hop grassiness could come through. This is the kind of beer I'd imagine New Glarus, Live Oak, or the like could crush...one can't imagine this is the best expression of this idea for a beer by any stretch, but it's nice enough trying it once.
