NOTCH SALEM LAGER
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, highly rated year-round Bavarian helles lager disappoints. Corny rice starching, sour lemon rotted spritz and hay-like barnyard acridity creep above buckwheat-pasted buttered biscuit base in tepid manner – despite its acclaim elsewhere. In the can, arid clear yellowed moderation let fizzy lemon spritz speckle maize-parched barnyard graining, Scotch-nipped wheat whiskey and herbal Hallertau hops.
SCHILLING GLIMMEN SMOKED HELLES
On tap at Taphouse 15, unique Bavarian-styled golden helles lager utilizes Lukr Side Pour faucet to soften the foamily frothed creaminess heading the slightly cherrywood-mesquite smoked maize dryness and phenol hop spicing. But its desolate campfire smokiness recedes too fast, leaving some aridity along the pilsner malted bottom. On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar ’25, cherrywood-smoked helles lager gained mesquite wood tones for weedy peat mossing and reedy cured meating. Easygoing lightweight fare despite smoky tangibles.
