Commercial Description:
St. George Spring Lager is a classical example of what many consider to be the original lager beer. Amber-colored and medium bodied with a rich, roasted malt character this beer has a smooth, slightly sweet malt flavor with traditional German hops providing a noble, perfectly-balanced hop bitterness. A slightly fruity, dry finish tops off this style as does a thick, creamy white head.

At long last, the elusive spring lager that I’ve been missing for years. Deep gold in color, decent head, clear. Aroma was sweet honey accented malts and some floral hops. Flavor matched, definitely pushing on the sweet honey side of the malt world. Hop focused with some balancing noble hops on the finish. Nicely done brew, just a touch sweeter than I like. I would have preferred things to be a bit cleaner.

As luck would have it!! At my local Navy package store, I grab the last dragon pack and low and behold, the only St George brew I have not sampled. Pours a golden amber, average head, thick lacing. Nutty caramel sweet malt aroma, notes of pancake syrup. Bitter malt flavor, thick body, semi dry, nutty and honey notes. Earthy finish.

Bottle; found this in my beer stash; should have had it during the right season. Oh well. Poured an orange copper with small white head. Aroma of honey, caramel, grass and flowers. Flavor was a combination of those aromas. A slight sweetness throughout. Decent hop presence on the finish that was slightly peppery. Palate was good.

Best of the St George I have had so far. Clear copper with light head and not much lace. Fruity smell and just enough hops to remind your tongue who is in charge. I liked it.

12 oz bottle. Clear orange tinged gold with a small off white head. Earthy sweet malt nose, toasty, hints of grass. Sweet biscuity flavors, caramel, some grassy hop bitterness. Lightly grainy. Crisp finish, light herbal hop bite. Nice.
