Easy is a lager for those times you just want a beer without thinking about it too hard.
It's sessionable, easy drinking, and super slakeable, with a mild bitterness and a good malt backbone. Clean and crisp!
Compared to our pilsners, this is an even more approachable and lower bitterness lager that goes down super easy.

473 mL can from the brewery; coded Batch 280 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a clear pale yellow colour, stirring up one finger of soapy white head that falls apart within two or three minutes. A modest collar of frothy suds remains, surrounding a thin film on the surface; decent lace deposition after each sip. Clean, wholesome aroma of grainy malts, soda crackers, freshly baked sourdough bread and grassy hops.
Straightforward flavour profile that follows the nose to a T: grainy pale malts, crackery sweetness and fresh bread come through early on, joined by grassy, herbal hops on the back end. Off-dry conclusion with light bitterness; not quite at the level of a pils, but more substantial than I'd anticipate from a craft lager. Light in body, with moderately assertive carbonation that adds some liveliness to this brew's crisp, smooth mouthfeel. Exactly the sort of beer that I could stick with all day, e.g. if I brought a case of this to the campsite on Friday night, there wouldn't be many left by Sunday.
Final Grade: 3.96, a B+. Slake describes Easy Lager as a beer meant for those times when you "just want a beer", and I know exactly what they mean. It's certainly not an exciting beer, but I do think it's a very well-made, extraordinarily crushable lager - a little hoppier than expected for this style, maybe, but I don't have a problem with that. If Easy was available locally, I think it would've entered my rotation a long time ago. If you're looking for a lighter lager that doesn't skimp on the flavour, I urge you to take this one out for a spin.
