Ellicott Mills Alpenhof Boomerang Lager

Brewed by Ellicott Mills Brewing
Style: Pale Lager
Ellicott City, Maryland USA

Clear, emdium yellow. Oaty grain, nutty sweet aroma. Good Eurolager. Balanced, a bit light on the bittering.

Co-rated by Scraff! Sparkling clear, straw-colored beer. Small, creamy white head with great retention. Lots of buttered popcorn in the nose. Very light caramel as well. The flavor is buttery with blasts of butterscotch. Medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Short, semi-sweet, refreshing finish.

Dark gold, creamy white head. Light buttery flroal nose up front that fades into a dreid fruit and earth finish. Similar flavor with just a touch of peppery hops, and hints of earthy nutiness added to the mix. Nicely balanced as it seem pretty much like a light pils of sorts. Light bodied, light carbonation, soft bitter finish. Might be good with some hot wings, but truly not my thing...

Draft at the brewpub. Australian-style Lager. Mildly sweet, with a touch of nuttiness. Nothing extraordinary, relatively balanced. A little sourness in the finish. Decent session beer, nothing more.

Golden yellow color with no head. Minimal aroma of some hops and malts. Tastes of malts with some hops. Nothing impressive, but not revolting either.

On tap on the Maryland Brewers Festival. Poured a golden color with a moderate sized head. Taste is rather plain, with a pronounced hop finish. Very drinkable, but also forgettable.

Poured into a hazed plastic cup in a dark room, so appearance is difficult to judge. Bit of apple in the aroma and flavor. Nothing really offensive, but nothing really in there.

On tap @ the Brewpub-Moderate golden color w/a slight white head. Had a floral nose to it. Another pretty average brew at this brewpub, some hops, some grain, and again, some interest, but not much. Thin watery mouthfeel w/a weak, stale finish.
