Depot Street Loose Caboose Lager

Brewed by Depot Street Brewing
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Jonesborough, Tennessee USA

On tap at Acoustic Coffee House. A white fizzy head sits on a golden/ amber body...but somehow I can tell by looking at it that this is going to be thicker than your average golden lager...call it intuition if you will. Aroma is of mildly crisp hops and biscuity grain. Flavor was pleasantly malty. I initially took this one to be a Vienna. Body was medium-light and well- carbonated. A clean hoppy finish makes for one refreshing brew.

solid, sweet honey malts, lots of flavor. not too much on the hops. still it has a thick texture. lots of carbonation.

Sampled on draft at the brewery. Pours a pale hazy gold with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is toasted malts and grassy hops. Taste is toasted malts, bitter grassy hops and caramel. Medium bodied,

Dark gold, thin ring of foam. Fruity, slightly toasty aroma. Flavor is also fruity, with note of apple and grape juice. Clean, mildly peppery finish. No bad or "off" flavors. On tap at Preservation Pub, Knoxville.

Noogfest ’08. The body was medium gold. The aroma was floral with some bread and carrots. The taste was bitter bread crust with some celery notes.

Pale yellow, sticky white foam. Aroma is thick cereal, grassy, corn. Taste is more thick cereal body, corn, grassy. Too heavy for a light summer lager still good.
