North By Northwest Northern Light

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

Draught at the brewpub
Blond color. Very light aroma. Very weak mouthfeel, and the taste is only some cereals and light citrus fruits… Poor.

Tap. Light straw body with a foamy head that fades into a ring of bubbles. Nose-stae hops and old cardboard. Taste-stale, stale, stale with a bile finish. Cardboard, artificial sweetner, some cherry on the back end. Somethin is bile like and too sweet at the same time, but I can’t put my finger on it. A bad beer.

Very pale yellow color. No taste whatsoever. They could have substituted flavored water for this terrible beer.

Pour is piss yellow with a thin dense white head...smells like corn...taste is mildly malty with a styrofoam peanut quality...quick finish, luckily...

Light golden with not much head. Smells and tastes like a cheap American beer, but every brewpub has to have one of these unfortunately. Is smooth but very thin.

Had on tap at the brewpub in Austin. Light, pale, straw colored pour with a thin white head. Not much of an aroma, a little fresh lake water perhaps. Flavor is rather bland, bit of a hoppy bent to it to differentiate it from the normal light lagers out there. Slightly buttery. About what I expected, mouthfeel is thin, slightly watery. Drinkable.

I’d rather drink Keystone, which has about the same taste. This beer is about $3 too expensive for what you get. Has a strange popcorn aftertaste. Avoid.

Pale faint golden color with adjuncty malt lager aroma. Grainy dry and watery body. Smooth, but that's about it.
