Metric
Industrial Arts Brewing Company - Beacon

 

Having this one on a business trip to the northeast. The beer is cloudy yellow liquid with a thin white head. The aroma has an herbal scent...like an earthy hop-tea...along with a soft, doughy malt scent. The taste has a notable citrus fruit character and a more bright hop flavor - not what I expected at all - it overshadows any malt flavor. Medium in body. Lots of hop flavor through the finish. Interesting and good, but not what I think of with the style.

Crisp, clean and easy drinking, Industrial Arts works hard to bring us a classic taste of pilsner.

Pale straw and with a shade of light gold, the bright Metric pilsner-style lager bubbles with a fresh and bready scent backed with herbal greens and slight fruitiness. As the bubbles settle, the first sip reveals a brisk and dry malt sweetness of fresh baked bread, wafer and a sense of honeysuckle. As the beer-flavored beer washes the middle palate, the sweetness fades and the hops bring a bright grassy, botanical and slightly peppery bitterness for balance and sharpness.

Predictably clean, refreshing and crushable, the beer is the type of taste taste that's basically a security blanket for the tastebuds.

Fairly clear, light yellow in color White frisky head. Nose is sweet and malty. Taste is sweet, zestlike and malty. Mild bitterness across the palate. Easy drinker and refreshing.

 

 

Copenhagen 13/1 2021. 47,3 cl can from Mikkeller web-shop. Silver can with some sketchy drawings of machines and tools to underline that this is indeed an industrial arts brew. Green writing.

Pours clear, pale yellow with a mid-sized white head. Settles as 0,5 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. No lacing.

Aroma is moderately intense with a sweet malty odor mingling with citric scents. Sweet pale malts, bread and hay. Citrus and grass.

Medium strong carbonation. Thin, watery, lively and tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly stronger bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and lingers for a while. Finish is fairly dry.

Fresh, straightforward, adequately bitter Pilsener.

L: transparent straw pour

S: herbal hops, biscuit

T: bready, more German than Czech tasting

F: sweet finish, enough bitterness to keep you coming back for more

O: pretty decent little pilsner, nothing special but solid

 

 

 

 

 

 

On tap. Pours golden with white head. Body is medium and crisp. Taste is of herbal hops and bready malt. Finish is long and bitter. Good brew.

Bright golden pour with a bright white one-finger head. While specific ingredients weren't found in the brewing notes, there was a decidedly German, as opposed to Czech, pilsner style. Bread and cracker malt flavor with a milder DAB-type bite indicated a more German slant. Refreshing solid beer, but with a more shallow depth of flavor a shade under great.

 

 

I found this in the back of my fridge, canned April 10th 2023. I drank the first can when I got it and I didn't think too highly of it then.

It pours a clear straw gold with an inch of foam, leaves some lacing.

The smell has some mild citrus, bigger with the grass, toasted malt.

The taste is hoppy, not so much grassy or much citrus, just hoppy with a bit of lemon. The toasted malt is there and overall, this does taste like it suffered from age but not that much.

Good mouthfeel. Still quite drinkable.
