Collaboration with Bierstadt Lagerhaus
Back in February our dear friends Bill and Ashley from Bierstadt Lagerhaus in Denver Co, Flew out to Nashville to make wort and have a good time. While taking a break from gorging on hot chicken and late night honky tonking we managed to brew a beer. Mashed with a conscientiously chosen blend Heirloom barley varieties from Weyermann. As per German tradition it was double decocted for a light malt caramelization and superior drinkability and hopped with the finest Tettnanger from hopheadfarms. Our Maibock spent 11 weeks lagering at frigid temperatures in neutral oak barrels. A waft of springtime, with its malty sweet aroma and floral, grassy layers.

A: Pours a clear medium copper in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate medium amber + medium golden yellow + honey + light burnt orange colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a handful of small to medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of toasted + caramel + bready + biscuit malts with light to moderate amounts of caramel sweetness. Light aromas of grassy + floral + slightly spicy hops. Moderate aromas of lager yeast and a hint of oak barrel.
T: Upfront there are slightly stronger than moderate flavors of toasted + caramel + bready + biscuit malts with light to moderate amounts of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate flavors of lager yeast and a hint of oak barrel. Finally there are light flavors of grassy + floral + slightly spicy hops which impart a light to moderate amount of bitterness which slowly fades away leaving a relatively clean finish.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp initially then smooth with a hint of dryness and a relatively clean finish.
O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly crisp + smooth + slightly dry yet still clean mouthfeel. Enjoyable with a lot of malt complexity as well as some traditional German hop flavors + aromas. Definitely an excellent example of the style and one I will need to grab again when I see it.
