St. George Lager

Brewed by St. George Brewing Company
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Hampton, Virginia USA

Clear yellow color. Smell of malt, hops and Asti champoine. Taste of malt, barley, honey and hops. Hint of ginger with a dry bitterness at the end.

Pours a slightly hazy gold with a frothy white head. The aroma is a bit of musky hops over some straw malt. Slightly sweet body with just enough bitterness for balance makes this one go down very easily.

Large foamy head, hangs around the top of this golden yellow brew. Floral, grassy aroma with some notes of pear. Very mellow hoppy, orange flavor. Not bad, not great. Just beer.

Bottle from Immy. Color is a mix of light orange and dark yellow with some lacing. Aroma is present like a burnt lager, must be the malt. Taste is lackluster. Average everywhere around. Dont really get the nature of a beer like these.

Hazy darkish yellow. Malt and nutmeg in the aroma. Fruity, sour palate. Pretty light but pretty good. Very understated. Thanks Ron for the trade!

This beer is alright. It does not have a lot of character, but it is more full than your average macrobrew. Don’t recommend it for the price.

12oz. bottle. Very mild aroma, just some faint toasty grain and vague citric, fruity accents. Light-medium clear golden color with a slight but lasting head. Starts with a light amount of malt sweetness, mingling with some lemon citrus and light breadiness, the finish seeing some fruity hop flavor and a light-moderate amount of bitterness, and drying out somewhat along the way. Palate is effervescent and very lightly acidic, body is light-medium. Seems to sort of come and go all at once, in a way. Certainly non-offensive, however.

Had in the Outer Banks. Pours golden into the glass with a very nice retentive head. The nose was murky, of hops and sours. The flavors were of earthen sweetness and slightly soured citrus notes, backed by an even bitter finish (not much in the "complexity" dept., though). The best part of the brew for me was the very creamy mouthfeel. It was medium-bodied, and overall quite drinkable. There was nothing particularly outstanding that WOW!’d me. This easily sinks any macro, but not my first choice.
