Bandito
NoDa Brewing Co. - North End

 

 

Poured from a 16 OZ can into a pint glass. The appearance is a clear golden yellow color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is bread and floral hops. The taste is grass and grain.

A: Pours a clear pale golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and faint bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall fizzy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of slightly heavier than thin film surrounded by a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of cereal grain malts with a light to moderate amount of corn adjuncts. Light to moderate aromas of grassy + floral hops.

T: Upfront there is a moderate amount of cereal grain + pale malts with a moderate amount of corn adjuncts adding a light amount of sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of grassy + floral hops which impart a slightly stronger than light amount of bitterness which fades away fairly slowly leaving a clean finish.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp and clean.

O: Easy to drink and would pair really nicely with just about any food - well hidden alcohol and refreshing.

 

 

16 oz can poured into a standard pint glass. Pours a clear golden yellow, with a half finger of white head and active carbonation. The aroma is mildly floral and bready. The taste follows suit, with an emphasis on pale malts. THe mouthfeel is medium with a medium low level of carbonation. A good summer session lager.
