Sailor Hagars Clear Cut Lager

Formerly brewed at Sailor Hagars (no longer brewing - see Howe Sound)
Style: Pale Lager
North Vancouver, Canada

Gold with huge lasting off white head. Crisp hop nose. Fatty taste with light lingering hop finish

Golden, slight haze; scant aroma - maybe some hop. Mostly cold-tasting, they really need to serve this warmer, because all I got were some husky malt flavours and vague herbal hoppiness. The brewer told me he brought in special pale malts from a small German producer and they were wonderful malts, etc...they were completely lost on me, and I know Gary can brew so it’s not for lack of talent. But if they’re lost on me, they’ll be lost on just about everyone else, too, which is a shame because I don’t want discourage brewers from seeking out the best ingredients possible.
