HOFBRAU ORIGINAL LAGER January 1, 2009Beers A-Zhelles lagerJohn Fortunato Spastic clay hop fizz and sour rye aromatics nearly overwhelm tangy lemon retreat as honey-toasted grains reinforce dry wheat backbone of glistening golden medium body.
(TROUTBROOK) THOMAS HOOKER MUNICH STYLE GOLDEN LAGER January 1, 2009Beers A-Zhelles lagerJohn Fortunato Under-whelming pearly-headed straw-bodied German-styled lager with sulfuric barnyard-hay waft stays soft and unassuming. Doughy yeast leaves baked bread imprint on honeyed malts and sour lemon astringency. Phenol-hopped finish conceals lemongrass murk and fleeting floral flutter.
