For the Records
Mirror Twin Brewing

4-pack from Trader Joe's

Simple, effortless and comforting, Mirror Twin brewers team up with Lexington's most legendary music store for a beer that pairs well with the harmony of life.

Light, crisp and refreshing, For The Records debuts with a bright chrome and straw appearance. As it's bubbles race to the rim, a fizzy and frothy cap starts to build. Bright and fresh on the nose, notions of light bread, a hint of honey and a mild floral hop note sets the tone for a modestly sweet, bready and wafer-like upstart in taste.

What starts floral turns spicy on the middle palate as the bubbles carry off the grain sweetness and a drier taste brings a cracker-like taste with a pleasantly grassy and herbal balance. Lightly bittered, the late taste carries a trailing hop profile into a peppery green finish.

Light in body, crisp and slightly earthy from a grain standpoint, the lighter "spring" lager is an easy thirst quencher and a familiar taste harking back to when your father would let you sneak a sip of his beer.
