Gabagool Lager
Eight & Sand Beer Co.

 

 

In a full clear pint glass it's presented, freshly drawn from a tap. It's believed to be in the Italian, or at least European tradition of Lagers/Pilsners. The color is a light and bright copper-amber, cloudier than American adjunct lagers. There's virtually no head on this one. There's virtually no smell to this one, surprising, as European lagers often bring a slightly funky aroma with them. Many American adjunct lagers are more pungent than this. At least it doesn't smell badly. More breadlike sweet than any other taste, there is a decent hop inclusion to give this a good balance. But, it's a lager, so there's nothing bold to describe. That doesn't make it unpleasant, in fact, it drinks rather nicely. Like most brews, the flavors get more pronounced as it warms, yet they remain in good balance. Even a little malt/yeast/hops aroma can eventually be detected. There will be times, like on a hot summer day, that this will make a refreshing treat.
