Herkimer Handys Lager

Brewed by Herkimer Pub & Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Minneapolis, Minnesota USA

Bright golden with a small white head. Wehat horse wheat, grain aroma. Soured grain taste with a honey malt aftertates. Light lacing. Moderate texture with a skunky wheat, honey aftertaste. moderate fizzing.

On draught at the brewpub in uptown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pours a clear golden colored brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates to a thin ring and minimal lacing. Aroma of golden grain malt, a hint of creamed corn, a hint of grassy hops and some light butter. Taste is light bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, sharp grassy hops and some crystal hops. Finish is slightly dry and then a crisp finish with no bitter aftertaste. An average light lager close to the macro beer without the heavy advertising.

This is laden with a generous dose of buttery diecytal. Slight corn flavor. Almost colorless like a light champagne body. Blech, no good.

skunky barnyard aromas, aroma did not translate to the taste thankfully, but thats not all good because there was not much taste, spare head that quickly diminished, clear yellow body good lacing... thin in mouth, lively/fizzy carbonation...@ Herkimer Pub & Brewey

Draft @ Brewpub: Clear yellow, light head, nice lacing. Nose of light sweet malt, clean yeast and toast and sawdust. The flavor is dry, nice toast and malt, good/clean.

On tap at the brewpub, June 2007. Very pale and watery appearance. Aroma was almost totally absent. Some sweet corny notes in the flavour but not a lot else. Dull and thin. Obviously brewed for the BMC drinkers. Pretty poor stuff.

Looks just like the Silver Bullet. Tastes of corn with just a small amount of hoppiness. These guys should be ashamed of themselves for this. Awful.

Pours an incedibly light gold almsot like a coors or miller light with a thin white head. Aroma is moslty fresh pils malt with touches of corn or at least osme DMS but mostly clean with a touch of hops. Mostly a very bland pils malt flavor with mayb ehints of corn but othersie there is hardly any dms in the flavor and otherwise is pretty clean and easy drinking. Not bad ofr a light lager.
