Neustadt Springs Lager

typical lager, nothing special, or very interesting. Slightly fruity aroma, some mild hops. Your typical staple beer from an Ontario micro brewery.

Draught at TFOB 2007. Pours a clear orange with a small diminishing white head. Aroma’s mild and fruity with caramel malt and a little bit of cardboard. Flavour of caramel malt, very light hops, grain and a decent light bitter finish. Slightly watery mouthfeel. Pretty simple but it’s a decent Lager as far as Canadian Lagers go.

Pours a nice, deep golden colour with a small head, and an aroma of malts, very sweet, some toffee is evident, and some hops on the nose as well. The taste is very malty over-all with some decent hops thrown in for some balance, it’s very very tasty! Mouth feel is a little rough around the edges, but is generally nicely smooth and bready. The aftertaste is bitter, and lingering. This is an amazing brew IMHO.

These guys know how to make a pretty decent lager. Aroma of sweet malt. Good aftertaste.

nice hoppy nose, straw pale yellow color, decnt lager, very subtle some malts a little hops not as much as i was hoping from the nose. good lingering aftertaste

New brewmaster, fresh 6-pack. Wonderful crisp, full lager taste with good hop bitterness above and caramelly malts underneath. Deep gold with a fresh wet-grassy aroma. Not a thin, sweetish lager at all but something very worthwhile, nice going Neustadt.

Dark gold in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of creme brulee, bready malts, and a bit of grassy/earthy hops. In the mouth, a mixture of caramel and pilsner malt flavors lead the way, before more of the grassy and just ever so slightly citrusy hop elements take over. But what I really notice and enjoy about this beer is the bitterness. Finally, a domestic lager that doesn’t play coy in this regard. With less caramel flavor and a bit of roasted malt, this would make a very good vienna lager. As it stands, it’s the more caremelly and hoppy (less fruity) version of Creemore Springs. Many thanks to pootzboy for the sample!

341ml bottle - pours a nice clear shade of gold, with your average lager head on top. Aroma is a bit earthy, and quite malty with some hops hanging out underneath. I’ve never been blown away by the aroma on a lager, and this one doesn’t change that, but it’s nice. Flavour however is even nicer - sweet malt, and surprisingly, lots of hops! I like it! Earthy hopping, rather than citrus, but is not without a delicate orangey quality. Nice bitterness in the finish. Crisp body. Very nice, refreshing, satisfying, upper class lager.
