Brick Premium Lager

Formerly brewed at Brick Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
Waterloo, Canada

On tap at Milestone’s (called Palomino Lager). Golden coloured, with a mild aromas of bread and mild hops. Light body. Nothing special here.

Draught @ Milestone’s as "Palomino Lager": Pours straw coloured, reasonable white bubbly head. Aroma is extremely grainy, drab. Flavour is.. cardboard, corn and grains, just awful. Everyone else at the table thought it was ok, I think my palate has changed drastically. I used to enjoy Brick, I did NOT enjoy this. Thinking about what happened to Brick drives me to drink. Just not to drink Brick.

Draught. Golden, lightly carbonated. The aroma is slightly floral, with some bread, mild hops. The body is relatively light. There’s some mild caramel malt initially, bread, light hops in the finish.

On tap @Milestones: Light straw-gold under diminishing white head. Aromas of grain, fruit and faint hops. Tastes buttery, sweetish...some boxboard. Crisp but nothing special.

Draught at Milestone’s as "Palomino Lager". Pours like a typical Ontario Pale Lager: light yellow-gold, a few bubbles and a small diminishing white head. Yawn. Aroma and flavour of grain, light hops, some fruit, corn, a hint of cardboard and malt backing it up. Very light bitter finish. Light bodied. Nothing overly bad, just very boring.

Tap. Golden yellow, frothy white head. lots of glass lacing. Mild skunk aroma.Wheat, corn, and malt flavors. Overcarbonated. Slight bitter finish. Nothing special.

Pours pale yellow with a good size white fluffy head. Minute lace. Hops are present in the nose, along with some fruity notes, and some cardboard. Slightly hoppy flavour profile with wet cardboard and sweet fruit. Better than expected.

Another pleasant surprise! I was ready to write this one off-- clear bottle, pale (almost lemony) yellow colour. But there is a generous amount od European "skunky" hop aroma and character, as well as a noticable malt component. Finish is dry, boxboard. Better than I expected.
