Otter Creek Vermont Lager

12 ounce bottle - $1.79 at Hop City in Atlanta, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a clear, deep hued golden body with a foamy, lasting, white head. Smell: Simple, sweetish malted barley with some spicy, lemony hops. There’s a caustic, pungent note present that, like a crusty scab, I can’t help but pick at. It’s kind of vomitesque. I asked for the Vermont Lager, not the Vomit Lager. Good grief. Taste: Light pale maltiness with a minimal amount of sweetness. Hints of lemon and spice from the hops as well as a modest amount of bitterness. Curious acidity and some unpleasant off-tastes plow through the taste and lasts into the "where’s my glass of water" finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Gack!

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of sweet malt and perfumy. Taste yields some sweet malt, some fruity hints and a crisp, grassy finish.

Pale golden beer with a thin white head. Aroma is light. Just a touch of soft pale malt. Fairly clean, but terribly underhopped. Sort of a non-descript pale lager... nothing really worth mentioning here.

Tasted at 4th annual St. Bridget’s beer fest. Light grain aroma with hints of hops. Clear dark golden color with a small white head. Mild sweet beginning with a hop taste finish and not much bitterness.

Bottle. Pours a golden pale body with a rocky white head. Sweet malty body, grassy hoppiness with a light lemon and metallic flavor. Not so good.

slighty hazy gold under a fluffy white head. nice crisp lemony hoppy aroma. the lemony hops carry through into the flavor. light, crisp, refreshing. everything a good lager should be. very impressed!

It has a faint hoppy smell to it and your average golden color. Has a little hoppyness in the flavor but also a bitterness to go with it. After taste leaves a bitter, almost like a lead flavor, in the mouth. Overall it’s not a bad beer but I don’t think that I’ll end up buying this one again.

From bottle. Disappointing offering. Watery, uninteresting, slightly sour. No finish. Not one to repeat.
