Flash's Hunting Lager

Reviewed from notes. This was poured into a pint glass at the brewpub. The appearance was a ruddy dark orange close to muddled brown sort of color with some light ruby hues along the sides. Subtle transparency. Sly carbonation to hit a cap of a white head. Dissipates nicely. The aroma had some sweet brisk German lager-like breadiness blending a touch of caramel and toffee to it and the light grassy hops of I’m hoping Tetnang and/or Hallertau, but honestly, well, it’s the grassiness with a touch of a light spice-black pepper-ish. The flavor starts with the sweet German breadiness and develops with the malts fluently. Leads into a nice smooth sweet bready aftertaste and finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt right. Overall, in my opinion, nice Munich Dunkel lager worthy of having again with it’s respectable food.
