Summer’s Here Lager
Tröegs Brewing Company

 

Wow this is the lightest Helles lager I have ever had very little anything be is skunk flavors hops or even cereal grains.It does leave a slight grassy twang on the back of the palate which makes you need another sip to wash it away but other than that a very forgettable lager. Makes me wish I had Hofbräuhaus original lager instead since it has more flavor better crush ability at at least 5% in ABV. Pass even for the 1 dollar a paid for the can... well at that price at least it drinks better than miller lite

Well, this was the one I showed the least interest in - when it came to the Troegs summer variety pack. 12oz cab dated BB: 8-9-25; on the cusp. She pours a VERY light golden color…reminiscent of Miller Lite or take your pick of AAL(light). The head is nice. Lacing is nice. At least there is THAT. but not much more. Maybe a slight citrus smell on the nose? Not much more. She drinks ez & fast. Nothing much more to say. At 4.2%abv. They can be crushed. And should be. Cheers!

Appearance - clear straw body with white head

Smell - grains, lemon/lime zest

Taste - bready malts, lemon/lime zest

Mouthfeel - medium bodied, medium carbonation, slight citrus upfront, breadyness on the back end, crisp

Overall - this is a crisp, refreshing and highly drinkable lager perfect for those hot summer days. Worth a try

Pours a nice golden color in the glass with a bubbly white head.

Fresh citrus lemon and floral hops with subtle bread malt notes.

Lemon and floral hops backed by bread malt. Light, crisp, and refreshing.

 

On tap at the brewery this lunchtime.

Crystal clear pale golden yellow body. Small white head leaves scattered lacing. Aroma is nondescript. On tasting, some hoppiness, nice malt support, not that sweet. Finish is crisp, clean, and a lasting dryness from the hopping.

Overall, very good summer beer, can see having this again in the dog days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Picked up in Thurmont after some hiking with Luke this morning as part of a summer themed mixed fifteen pack. Very pale and thin. Almost no head. Grainy nose with sweet malt. Very high carbonation is clear. Flavor is fresh with herbal hops and sweet biscuit followed by grassy notes. I won't say I like it but it is exactly what you think it is.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear light golden straw color with a large head of white foam. The head has a decent level of retention, fading to leave some spotty lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is strongest of a bready and grainy smell mixed with a bit of caramel and must. Along with these smells comes a bit of hay and some light honey.
Taste – The taste starts out with a crisp cracker malt paired with some flavors of honey and caramel. Along with these flavors comes notes of grain and must as well as a hint of grass. These flavors take the taste to its end, leaving a nice crisp taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is light and thin with a carbonation level that is higher. For the light nature and the style and taste of the brew, the feel is fantastic, making for a very refreshing and easy sipper.
Overall – A rather nice flavorful and super easy drinking lager. Very well crafted for the low abv, and one great summer style brew.

 

Pours a very pale yellow. Thick foam. Citrus aroma. Light crisp body. Light sweetness. Mellow bitter finish. Goes down quick. Crushable. Very good.
