Gilded Otter Huguenot Street American Lager

Brewed by Gilded Otter Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
New Paltz, New York USA

on tap–pours a thin white head and pale straw color. Aroma is light grain/hint of hops. Taste is sweet light grain, balanced spice/lemon hops (saaz?). Light body.

Sampled @ Otter: Pours a clear, yellowish corn, with a thin white head. Very good as a starter, easy drink, however no complexity or depth. The palate is thin and watery.

So much different than the summer version even though this seems to be the base for the blueberry. Light and crisp not too much flavor. Boring.

Pours a clean, clear amber. Light and yeasty but without much else going for it. Reminds me, sadly, of the swill we’d drink back in college after hiking out to wherever it was that had a keg that weekend. The otter makes much better beers than this. Seems like a waste of a tap.

Sample at the brewpub: Very pale pour- looks like water almost. The aroma gives off a touch of white bread- very light pale malts/papery. The body is very light. The flavor has some stale cheap malts upfront. The finish has some evident straw character and residual grains. Not much bitterness is detectable. A generic Pale Lager.

sampler @ brewery - these guys definitely pumped out the lagers; clear and gold with minor carbonation; mild, grainy aromas lead to mild flavors; thin, watery texture; a pretty bland start to the sampler

great brew to enjoy with lunch or before going out, may be thick for a long night of partying, recommend the pale ale for that. Try the food at the pub, some of the best in town

Pours a clear pale gold color with a thin white head. Average aroma and flavor of hops and malt. The palate is light and creamy with lively carbonation. Average.
