North By Northwest Northern Light

Brewed by North By Northwest Restaurant and Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Austin, Texas USA

Draft at the brewpub; poured the expected color of yellow; decent white head. Aroma of sweet malt, with maybe a hint of hops. Flavor was the same; slightly sweet, bready malt. Not too hoppy, but a definite upgrade over a macro. Noticed alot of people drinking it there.

Slightly cloudy, bright yellow appearance, average head. Sweet balanced aroma of malt. Doughy taste and crisp hop finish. Not a lot of bubbles, but still a refreshing bite. Relly a pretty good beer. I was surprised.

Draft at NXNW and keg from NXNW. In Austin, a keg of this beer is sold for about the same price as a keg of Bud Light. This beer is much better than Bud Light. Smooth, easy to drink, light body. Has both floral and hoppy flavors. Not a particularly complex beer, but a solid, easy drinking beer for social occasions.

Sampler at NXNW- no head, extremely pale yellow color, aroma of light malt. Hits the mouth with a thin body, very little grains or hops could be detected. I think my water with lemon had more taste to it.

(Sampler @ NXNW): Very pale yellow color, small head - off-white. Somewhat hoppy, malty aroma. Malty pale taste. Light, reminiscent of Sam Adams Light. Tasty light, some malt.

Very light - a little watery. Not too much taste or flavor, consequently it sucks

Very light smelling, and I got a hint of apple juice and corn or grainy sweetness. Very light, a bit watery, but drinkable and for a pale lager, actually has a bit of flavor, and is much more satisfying than your standard pale lager, I thought. I could see getting this again if I was in the mood for a light beer.

Pale yellow pour. Super thin head. Very watery texture with a very fragile malt flavor. Short finish. Eh, not my favorite from here.
