Schloss Eggenberg MacQueens Nessie (7.3%)

11.2 ounce bottle from Westpark Wine & Beer in Richmond. Pours a clear light amber with a medium head. Nutty and grainy aroma. Very grainy taste with some apple-like fruit and honey notes. Medium body. Weird one.

Bottle. Light amber colour. Typical lager aroma. Tastes like a lager with a disturbing touch of whiskey extract. Very thin body.

Clear amber with medium off white head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of caramel. Flavour is sweet with toasted malt, caramel and it finished with a discrete bitterness.Slight notes of cardboard.

A cerveja do monstro Nessie tem coloração âmbar, creme pouco denso mas medianamente consistente. No aroma e no sabor, deu pra sentir bastante o malte torrado na turfa, típico das brejas do estilo. Final longo e levemente tostado.

Curiosidade: o nome dessa breja faz referência ao monstro do Lago Ness, tendo inclusive um brasão no rótulo, com a figura do polêmico bicho. Coloração âmbar translúcida, espuma bege densa, de boa formação e média duração, deixando marcas nas laterais da taça. Suave. Quase não há amargor. Corpo leve. Notas de malte e caramelo.

Pours an awkward green tinted amber orange/amber with a minimal beige froth. Extremely grassy nose, hay and dirt. Wow, crazy malt flavor. So grassy, lots of hay, tangy and sour, semi-sweet. Very earthy. The finish is really the highlight, lots of peaty scotch notes. The body is very glassy, minimal carbonation, mimics a scotch. The more I drink the more I want a glass of one of the 6 classics. This would make more sense if it was much higher in ABV. Takes a while to get used to that Highland taste coming from a beer, it’s really quite perplexing and I could completely see how non-scotch drinkers would not get this beer.

Amber colour with small white head.Aroma is light spicy (pepper)And light fruity has a mild smokeed mouth feels and a sweet candy like finish.

Pours a clear golden color, with a medium frothy head that leaves some streams of sticky lacing. Aroma is sweet, citrus, and light hop notes. Taste is the same. Umm......I’d say this is a Pilsener or a Lager style of some sort. Smoked? No way!
