The dude told me this is supposed to be a strong lager circa 1871, before beers changed and became weeker. He said the alcohol bwas like 7.5% or something. It’s pale and a lager by definition but not by flavor. The flavor is somewhat rich. There is a little bit of a chardonay-like alcohol taste but there was a surprising presence of those typical Emmetts citrus PNW hops. I thought it was quite good for a light lager.

the aroma struck me as ’fishy’. it poured watery yellow with no head. a very slight hoppy bitterness, but not much else going on. very watery in the mouth. oops.

I dont really know what to say about this one. I can see where they are going with this, it definately appeals to the regular bud or whatever drinker. In fact, the description at the brewery talks about how it was made with corn and what not I think rice too i could be wrong. No head, light lacing and light hops in the nose and very thin body, light overall. Remarkably like bud light tasting. Drinkable but very unintersting.

Golden with a small white head that is mostly diminishing. Floral hop aroma, slightly yeasty and musty. Nice lacing- thin, yet uniform. Nice average hoppiness to the flavor followed by wheat and rye notes. Mildly sour finish. Crisp and clean, and a good beer to enjoy with dinner.
