Maritime Pacific Old Seattle Lager

Brewed by Maritime Pacific Brewing Co.
Style: Pale Lager
Seattle, Washington USA

Draft. Clear yellow, filtered. Nose is minimally hoppy but clean and bright. Some minimal sulphur/chemical scents. lemon sweetness to the hops, fresh and mild corn syrup nose. Crisp, wet, perfectly clean with a properly full body and a sharp and bright fullness to the malt body. well made, well lagered. Better than many of the ales I found around Seattle on draft. love it. I could drink this all day every day.

On Tap at the Jolly Roger Slightly hazy light yellow with a full creamy white head and lacing that coats the glass in sheets. Lots of continuous rising bubbles. Typical extremely light malt aroma. Slightly of soap and cereal. Flavor is soft light malts, slightly of corn or other vegetativeness, but pleasant and agreeable. This beer would go far to help me forget that I don’t like pilsners.

Has a bicuity baked bread grassy nose, some fruitiness. Gold color, decent head. Good chewy malt sweetness, balanced by a somewhat complex spicy hop bitterness. Nice carbonation, easy drinking and crisp--but it really delivers with some complexity. The longer than expected finish is something I can only describe as simply "tasty". This is a very easy drinking beer that has more to it than your typical American Pale Lager. In fact, this might be one of the best "neo" American Pale Lagers made. Really enjoyable easy drinking beer for any occasion.

A little soapy, somewhat hoppy aroma for a lager. This is a pretty darn good lager. A lot of hops in the finish. I actually prefer this to the pils.

On tap @ the brewpub. Pours clear gold with bright white head and nice lacing. The mild aroma contains floral hops and some mild graininess and not much else. At times I had a difficult time smelling anything at all out of the glass. It has a solid lager flavor with sweet to mildly grainy maltiness balanced by chewy noble type floral and spicy hops. Nice session brew.

On draught at the Jolly Roger brewery/taproom grill in suburban Seattle, WA. Pours a clear golden pale brew with a fast dissolving white head that started large and then that leaves behind a thin film and white ring with some spotty lacing. Aroma of golden grain malt, citrus zest, with a touch of mild yeast. Taste is light to medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of golden grain malt, some lemon zest, and a touch of Ivory soap. Finish is mildly bitter with some citrus zest and a pale ale hop aftertaste.

Light golden in color with a medium white head and extremely clear. Aroma is buttery and of floral hops.Decent palate for a light lager,nothign ground breakinghere, but solid.

Not worth trying....Slight malt finish, but just a typical lager. Good if you want to drink alot of something.
