Schell Stag Citra Pils

Haven't seen it yet, but I had a dream* last night that it was being packaged in a 'tallboy' can!

(*Too much caffeine tends to do that too me )

 

I wanna say Schells said it would be released around the end of Oktober.

Mid to late October from this press release (Aug 29) hope its sooner than later

 

So Joe from JJ Taylor was right when he wrote in his blog last spring that Schell's placed an order for Citra hops. Nice prediction Joe and thanks for the conversation at Lift Bridge.

 

Any more info on this?

 

Should ship the end of the month.

 

Looking forward to this!

 

Pretty easy to predict that when you watch the order being placed!

 

The challenge is remembering that you watched the order being placed...

 

Really excited for this. A Citra, wet hopped lager beer, from Schells. Head spinning haha.

 

Can't wait to try this. I love the beers in the Stag Series.

 

OT but still Schell's...Anyone seen Emerald Rye yet? Been looking forward to the release of both of these beers

 

Emerald Rye has been out on shelves for several months

 

Emerald Rye has been out for close to two months now.

Are you thinking of the Chimney Sweep?

 

kinda figured as I saw it at a local beerfest in August, but for whatever reason hasn't hit a single store here

edit: thanks guys

 

Beat me to it by seconds.

 

I haven't seen it around the south metro much lately either since the initial release.

 

Just saw this on the Four Firkins website:

Not only are we releasing the highly anticipated Stag Series Batch #6, we will also be introducing the newest release under the Schell's Snowstorm label, a classic French style Biere de Noel for winter 2012.​

Stag #6:​

"A fresh hopped pilsner made with 100% whole cone Citra hops. Citra hops are a cross of Hallertauer Mittelfruh, U.S. Tettnanger, East Kent Golding, Bavarian, and Brewers Gold. Citra has a citrus aroma and flavor, with a heavy aroma of tropical fruits (guava, mango, tropical fruit). It is typically used as an aroma hop."​

The Snowstorm:​

"Schell Bière de Noël displays a highly aromatic nose: malty with a good dash of yeast esters (peppery, spicy, and citrusy). On the palate, the yeast influence is once again evident, with notes of white pepper and citrus. In the background, a herbal hop can be found. Despite the dryness of the beer, it displays an incredibly silky mouthfeel."​

This is going to be a fantastic event, two new beers from one of the best breweries in Minnesota!"​

 

Picked up a sixer. What a great beer. Not sure how long it will be around but I'll continue to pick it up as long as it's available.
