New Glarus Totally Naked Extra Pale Lager

Brewed by New Glarus Brewing Company
Style: Premium Lager
New Glarus, Wisconsin USA

Pale gold pour with 1-finger, fluffy whitish head. Aroma of pale malt, slight hopcitrus and lemongrass. Pale malty taste, with mid-palate hopcitrus and a slight honey presence.

Bottle at the Birds-Pack Lambeau tailgate. Title intriguing, beer not so much, but not bad either. Based on the ingredients bill, was expecting more of a pilsner product, but this was more of a macro American Pilsner. More quality than BMC, but it was what it was. Aroma was grainy with light grass. Flavor is sweet grains (no cloying corn aspects, though), lacking a hop bite in the finish, yet still a light grass presence in the flavor. Would have been better dryer. Wanted: more flavor.

Bottle courtesy of Monger: Poured a golden color beer with a big pure white bubbly head with minimal retention. Aroma of light sweet malt is quite weak with no noticeable hops. Taste is also dominated by sweet malt which at least is pure malt and not some kind of adjunct. Carbonation is medium with a nice body. I understand they wanted to brew something light but this is a bit too light – I suggest sticking to the Yokel if you want a refreshing lager.

Poured the expected crystal clear gold color with a scant white head. No lacing. The aroma was sugar, corn and some grass. The flavor was more of the same. The mouthfeel was truly above average. Nice and silky on the tongue. one of the better PLs I’ve encountered.

Eh. Smooth and crisp, though equally bland and unintresting. I suppose that this would be acceptable to whet your thirst, but noting I’ll be buying again.

Thin, light, unsubstantial. But if you buy a beer called "Totally Naked Extra Pale," don’t expect lots of flavor or color.

Very good for what it is. Pale straw body. Light refreshing mouthfeel with some flavors of mild grains and a grassy finish.

Bottle: Pours a pale yellow with a white head. Aroma, pale malts, yeast, spicy notes, a little grassy. Flavor, light sweet malts, with some fruity, notes, some grainy notes as well. Pretty solid lager.
