American Lager
Schlafly Beer - The Tap Room

This one comes from a mixed twelve pack of twelve ounce aluminum cans. It is utterly clear, pale yellow with a white head. Nice lace. The aroma is somewhat light and bland. Some grain and malt in the background, but that's about it. The taste has a little more quality...sweet up front, perhaps from adjuncts, a nice balance, and a clean finish. On point for the style.

 

A - Pale gold color with thin, soapy white lacing and mild carbonation.

S - Crisp honey malt and citrus aroma.

T - Light honey malt followed with spicy earthy citrus, ends balanced with a slight edge towards the honey malt side.

M - Big medium body with light pricklies on the tongue.

O - A well mannered beer that's easy drinking.

A 12 oz. bottle poured into a clear pint glass of, just about an ordinary looking lager. There is a pleasant aroma from the glass, more than if it were an ordinary lager. There's a bit of head and nice glass lace left behind. The taste is a bit bolder and a lot nicer than an ordinary lager. It runs a little sweet, but not to a detriment. A nice and refreshing American Lager.

12oz bottle. Poured out a clear, straw-yellow color with a small, bubbly, white head of foam. It left minimal sudsy trails of lace. It smelled of toast, biscuits and floral notes. Sweet caramel, toffee and a grassy, mild bitterness. Crisp and easy drinking.

Straw yellow in color with a half inch of creamy off white on top that dissipates fairly quickly to a fingernail. Excellent clarity. The aroma is of corn and faint grassy hops. I’m tasting grassy hops and corn. The mouth is light and approachable.

 

 

Highly carbonated and clear pilsner/AAL appearance but nice head and retention. Mostly void of aroma but slight bready notes. Taste is light With a touch of grain and crisp finish but not much hop flavor or aroma. Solid crisp light beer.

 

 

 

 

 

A typical, but decent American Lager.

Poured clear and yellow with a one finger head that didn't last long but actually did lace the glass a bit. Pretty good for the style.

Smell is grainy and flowing stream or river like, perhaps like the Guadalupe in Texas. Not bad but not great, and not that strong on the smell.

A lightly bitter corn and grainy taste dominated. Not much else stood out. Again, not bad but not great.

the mouthfeel was ok, and within the style quite typical. It's hard to rate this one real high on this category, but I'll oblige for the style.

For American Lagers, the drinkability is slightly above average. For all beers, the drinkability would be low. So I'll rate it a 3.5 here. Would be quite pleasant on a hot summer's day, or perhaps when working on the go-cart in the garage in springtime.

I think of this beer as the lager version of the schlafly's pale ale. I know I should take them as individuals, but they really are similar. This beer is definitely balsey for an American lager. It's highly hopped and flavorful. It pours a not so light yellow and is somewhat cloudy. I generally stay away from American lagers unless I want to be reminded of their lack of substance, but this beer really carries the day. For being Budweiser central, Missouri really has some great breweries. O'Fallon, Schlafly, and Boulevard all in one state. Bottoms up! Recommended.

Very nice lite blond lager that poured clear and with a small white head. Citus was in both the smell and taste. It was creamy with a slight sweetness – lite to medium mouthfeel. Sampled several tastes from the wife’s glass as she had several pints. Good lager/corn flavor that would work well in the summer heat.

Had this at the Tap Room while visiting St. Louis. I meant to order the American Pale but no biggy.
A fantasticly clear beautifully gold pour with a slight cap on top leaving decent lacing.
Smelled a slight odor of corn and a little citrus but other than that this lager didn't disturb the olfactory.
Great taste. Nicely balanced. Crisp with slight malt but nothing overpowering. Maybe a bit of corn but clearly at the end and shortlived.
Smooth and a tad creamy leaving room in the mouth for more.

Another good offering from Saint Louis Brewing.

This beer had an average sized white head with fine-large sized bubbles when it was poured and it was mostly lasting.The body was uncarbonated and clear with a pale yellow hue.The nose was that of corn and the flavor was lightly bitter tasting.It had a smooth mouthfeel and it was semi-thin and watery in texture.It was light bodied and it had excellent lacing.

A solid lager by a solid brewer. Plenty of good looks to this little number as it comes with a nice golden body, white head and some lacing. The nose is straightfoward lager, but stronger than the typical macro brews. There is corn in the mix, but it's not objectionable in either aroma or taste. The feel is crisp, clean and lighter bodoed, but not so light as to feel thin or watery. A solid drinkable lager with nice balance.
