Neustadt Springs Lager

Brewed by Neustadt Springs Brewery
Style: Premium Lager
Neustadt, Canada

Re-rate on new canned version and with recent recipe changes: Pours a darker amber-gold than before..2 finger white cap, fair retention, soft carbonation. Aroma: Bready, lightly sweet, some eartyness and herbal notes Profile: Mince dose of chewy sweetish bready malt in the front gets balance quickly from some herbaceous-resinous hopping, some musty-earthy tones against sweet doughy tones mid palate, whisp of toasted wheat, moderately longer finish is malty and slowly bitters. Great improvement...toning the carbonation down and upping the body nakes this much like a fresh Bohemian farm lager..very drinkable yet satisfying After downing a hald dozen or so I’ve decided this will be one of my standard quaffs...more defined in quality and character with Creemore or Robert Simpson.

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!
