Ballast Point Longfin Lager

Brewed by Ballast Point Brewing Company
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
San Diego, California USA

Tap today @ Ballast Point, ratebeer summer gathering. Pours gold, overall ok, and decent but too bitter for me.

aromaless and super clear with no head. flavors were clean for the most part but didnt have any qualities that would distinguish it as a craftbeer...kind of grainy rwally with no hop presence.

Sample at the Linda Vista location. This beer pours a clear yellow-gold color with a medium thin and fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. Stringy lacing. Sweet malt and fruit in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of grain and malt, along with notes of fruit and hops. The finish is malty and clean with a sweet aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap @ Live Wire. After a pliny, Old Viscosity and a midas touch, this was a nice change of pace. I have to agree with the others, this did have quite a strong corn/cereal flavor about it, but not in a bad way. Pretty much the kind of beer you expect from BP, well done and tasty. A good summer backyard beer.

On tap @ the Brewery in Linda Vista. Pours a clear golden yellow with a small white head. Grain and light hops on the nose, a very clean and quite stellar Lager.

On tap at the brewery in Linda Vista. Poured a very pale yellow color....head was light and white. aroma of grains, yeast and some honey.

On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours clear light yellow with a nice white head, spider web lace. Smells light and malty crisp. Man is this a tasty fizzy yellow beer. Nice tasty malts and then slightly nutty hops. Not nutty in a bad way though. Medium body, good carbonation.
