Commercial Description:
Lemp St. Louis Lager is a true German style lager, and conforms to Rheinheitsgebot. Brewed in an organic brewery with a smooth, lightly hopped taste that will please the most discriminating palate. Lemp was the first lager style beer in America. Come taste why first is always best.

Mildly hoppy Pale lager. You can actually taste the hops in it, and it has a rather crisp taste to it for the style. Not a bad showing for what it is.

not as bad as the $9 for a case would suggest. dark with an almost sweet, honey-like finish. recommended for drinkers on a budget.

As I lifted the lid on the bottle I wasn’t too impressed by the scent that crept out of the mouth. Poured an incredibly amber color with a healthy head for a lager. Tastes pretty standard. A little sweet & sour as it goes down the hatch. As the commercial description says, "first is always best," well, false advertising. Seems like one of those beers that would have a cult following in Missouri (anyone from Missouri?) but doesn’t have much of a leg to stand on elsewhere. I don’t like knocking beers, but there really isn’t that much else to say.

New at my beerstore. Cool name, cool label. America’s first lager, I wonder how true that is? Slightly darker than pale yellow in appearance. Tea froth head. No real menacing attributes, rather friendly and drinkable. Aroma has some metallic hints. Acceptable pale lager for the most part. Probably should be under the premium lager style.

More tasty than the usual BMC products at least. Aroma was very distant and faint. Could pick up traces of metal and malt. Pour was a flat medium gold with no head. Taste was a little too sweet...almost all malt with hints of honey and metal. Blah
