Lemp Lager

Brewed by Lion Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

The pour was a slightly cloudy, dull-golden color that hoisted up a decent white head that was slightly foamy and created a bit of lacing. The aroma was of malt and some citrus that didn’t really mesh well together. The flavor was ever an ever so slight bit of malt that was quickly overpowered by unpleasant citrus and a weird grainy finish. Meh.

Deep amber coloured body (not golden at all) with no head at all to speak of. Aroma of pale malt, lemons, wheat, caster sugar and even some hops! Light-bodied; Sharp flavour of malt up front fading to some cardboard and light citrus flavours as well. Aftertaste is a bit nicer with some sugars and malt most noticeable. Overall, not a horrible beer and one even maybe worth trying for the style. I agree that it is better than the BMC products around, but nothing more than just another lager. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Spirit Shop in Norman, Oklahoma on 24-April-2007.

Bottle, Lemp St. Louis Lager Beer - I do not know why people are critizing this one pours good, Nice Aroma has a very satisfying taste- - This is one of my favorite beers-

Bottle, pours a bit darker than I expected, a slight light copper color, a light lemony hop presence, with a bit of cereal notes. Really not too bad for a pale lager.

Pours golden amber with lots of bubbles and carbonation. Skunky nose. Dissapating offwhite head. Light and thin on the pallate. Sour cardboard taste with some bitterness at the finish. Not very refreshing and not even sessionable. Natural light is more smooth. Absolute Drainpour. Also, I thought Yeungleng was the first American Lager??

Bottle. Lemp St. Louis Lager Beer on the label, assuming this is the same. Not sure why everyone is criticizing this one. I thought from pour to finish, that this was a solid lager beer. Far superior to the BMC’s of the world, and quite satisfying having a few through the night.

Well this is simply wretched. Pours dark yellow with a good sized white head. This is a diacetyl bomb, some creamy like pale malt that is lightly sweet, but this is mostly bad butter / butterscotch. Medium / light body with some carbonation. The taste is a bad citric off flavor. The finish is bitter, but not a hop bitterness. This was a drain pour - simply terrible. Avoid.

UPDATED: APR 12, 2009 Nice medium dark in color and is much darker than most pale lagers. Easy drinking and smooth describe it. There is not a lot going on here which is typical of the style. Some decent caramel flavor.
