Cricket Hill East Coast Lager

Brewed by Cricket Hill Brewing Co.
Style: Pale Lager
Fairfield, New Jersey USA

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear golden color with a soapy white head. Aroma is very light with very light spices and hops and a touch of malts. Flavor begins sweet and spicy, with a dry malt middle. Finishes very dry and crisp with a very light malt and dry grass hint. Watery and easy drinking.

Had this from a bottle. Tasted more like an Ale than a Lager? It has the typical bitter hop ending,very similar to an ale. Okay and very drinkable,but wouldn’t go out of my way to get it.

Courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Thanks John. Pours clear deep gold with white head. The aroma is solid for the style with ample amounts of floral and spice hop notes to go along with a malty sweet backbone. The taste has up front spicy, floral and lemon like hop bitterness that refreshes and gets your attention. It then smooths out and thins out to midway. As the finish approaches notes of sweet malts and touch of lightly roasted malts round things out. The hops persist into the after taste. If I were to have a refreshing lager on a hot day this would be a nice choice.

Butter’s 4th cellar reduction. Slightly hazy golden with little head. Smells like the outdoors. Finishes with a bitter funk and is a bit watery.

Promising pour. Cloudy yellow gold in color. Loses some intrigue on the nose. All interesting qualities gone by the time you taste it. Mehhh

Bottle at the Fourth Butters’ Cellar Clearance Event. Clear gold with wispy offwhite head. Nose of light noble hops and sweet corn. But the flavor is just bitter and old. Musty and grassy finish. Crisp. But not refreshing.

12 oz bottle at Butters’ 4th Cellar Reduction. White head with a few bubbles sticking to the glass. Smells of corn and a little hops. Tastes the same as the smell but with some sweetness.

Bottle thanks to decaturstevo. Pale yellow-orange with a thin white head. Very full malty, grassy aroma. Clean pale malts, with a nice grassy, hay bitter finish.
