P3 Oat Lager
Phase Three Brewing Company

On lukr, even served in a mini-mug if you choose a 10oz pour, appearing crystal clear yellow-gold with a tall, dense white had that clings in softly rolling hills.

This has a really pleasant sweetness through the dense yet somehow crisp head, eschewing corn, maybe more into Wheaties, quickly counterbalanced by a grassy, herbal and cleansingly drying bite. As it warms I perhaps get a little hint of floral lavender.

Deliciously refreshing after a 6 hour drive.

 

Appearance: Pours a completely clear, light golden color with a mild white head. SRM of 5-6. (3.75)

Aroma: Aromas of floral and slightly sour fruity notes. (3.75)

Flavor: Flavors follow with lemon and floral notes upfront. Somewhat earthy. A lightly sour smooth oat malt finish. (4.00)

Feel: Medium body, appropriate carbonation. Smooth finish. (3.75)

Compared to Steel Toe Czech Pils 2/26: stronger aromas. More floral earthy notes. less salty lemon.

Overall: Phase Three Oat lager. My first try at this. Has saphir hops to bring out a nice floral note. Some lemon zest and faint sour notes linger with the smoot oat malt body. Right out of the gate I didn't like this Phase Three lager, but as it sits the floral and grassy saphir hops are growing on me. (Rating: 3.90)

 

16oz can from Tavour. Clear golden pour with a one finger white foamy head that slowly subsides to a thin layer. Aroma is grainy, cereal, with a touch of oats. Taste is cereal, grainy, sweet with a nice hefty, creamy feel.

16oz can. Bottom stamp is 'PACKAGED 03-01-2024'.
Partly cloudy, pale gold colored body. One finger of white head quickly backs down to an island and bubbly ring. Minimal lacing spots.
Aroma of tangerine and toasted malts.
Taste is fruity and floral, with citrus flavors. Oat malt. Brief bitterness near the end. Quick let up in the aftertaste.
Medium mouthfeel. Clean and crisp finish. Good carbonation.
Quick drinking lager, good for thirst quenching.

 

 

 

 

16 ounce pour - $8.50 at Woodstock Beer Market in Woodstock, Georgia.

Appearance: Light yellow-toned body, minimally hazy with a slim, white ring of foam. Scant lacing.

Smell: A little cereal scented with some equally light grainy hints. Discreet earthy spice and subdued lemony citrus.

Taste: A sweetish, honey-brushed oat vibe amidst bready barley and gently toasted grains presenting a little hint of granola. Restrained, mild hop bitterness with some subtle spicy, citrus notes. Oatmeal residue on the swallow and into the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation. Positively lively mouthfeel.

Overall: I'm digging it.

 

 

 

poured from a 16oz can into a new glarus dimpled mug. pours a typical pale lager yellow with almost three fingers of fluffy white foam. clean lager yeast and floral hops on the nose. taste follows with a smooth, slightly crisp mouthfeel. the oats give it a fuller mouthfeel that competes with the carbonation for a very pleasant drinking experience. the Saphir hops make this a little reminiscent of Content Moderator, although this isn’t on that same level. still, a very good and easy drinking lager. enjoyable enough to down 2 in a row.

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau lager glass from a one pint can on May 1, 2020.
