cyrenaica (281), Milton, Ontario, Canada Mar 7, 2008 355ml bottle <br />
5.0% ABV <br />
I tried this beer on February 26, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario. The beer poured a dark translucent amber colour with a white head which disappates to permanent lacing. The aroma was slightly malty, but had an unmistakable floral hoppiness that was a prelude of good things to come. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour had some hints of malt, but was very hoppy, with some grapefruit like bitterness in the finish. A very good beer.
BOLTZ7555 (600), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Dec 3, 2008 Sampled at Big Pour Mesa, AZ. 14 karat color with a touch of orange at its core. Very tiny eggshell head that left minimal lacing. Fairly sweet aroma although there is definitely a hop presence...can smell freshly cut fairways. Flavor is also hop forward for the style. Refreshing and enjoyable. Sparky27 (717), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Nov 29, 2008 On tap at Big Pour Mesa. Pours a light amber with a small beige head. Nose is grassy hops and malt. Taste is sweet malts mainly with some decent hops in the finish. Lighter mouth feel. Decent – hoppy for a lager. finol (63), Nacka (Stockholm), Sweden Nov 28, 2008 Served from Bottle (not via glas)
I will re-rate this properly later, but served in clubs after a few macro lagers this is how I rate it.
My colleagues comments were that the beer that I´d orderd (B L) smelled, and tasted like perfume, my explenation that it is american citrusy hopps was´nt bought...
However, this is a good beer that leaves a veile even when served in the bottle. Skidds (214), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Nov 28, 2008 Pours a dark gold/light brown colour. Malty and hoppy flavour aroma with hints of some caramel and nuts. Medium almost full-bodied beer. Excellent JCastner (58), New York, USA Nov 28, 2008 Wonderful light brown color. Aroma is of smoked malt and German hops. Light mouth-feel with some of the light graininess that you’d expect from a Vienna lager. Finish is crisp but mellow. Excellent. One of my favorite versions of this style. Once again impressed by Brooklyn.
