According to Untappd, this is a Foeder Aged Pilsner made with Tuxpeno Corn and Carolina Gold Rice.

It pours a lightly hazy - in that I can see the logo on the other side of the glass but not much more - golden with frothy head.

Some lime zest on the nose.

This has subdued noble hop spice character with an herbal chartreuse bitter finish. The malt character isn't distinct in a particular way -- it's not bready, it's not biscuity.


I'm curious how foeder aging affects the beer, lagers. I don't get a lot of oak in this.

Most Benchtop Lagers I've had have been at least solid. This is no different
