St. George Lager

Brewed by St. George Brewing Company
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Hampton, Virginia USA

Serve in Lager glass

Bottle: Poured a hazy brown with a thin head. Has a semi floral scent. Seems like it is lacking something.

Another fine beer from St. George, yes lagers may lack the weight and depth of other styles of beer, but this is a truely outstanding lager and perfect for those events where you’re drinking for the loing haul. Pleasant flavor and lighter in body then most of St Georges offerings, this is a home run amongst lagers.

golden appearance. flavor has a nice malt componet to it but barely detectable hop presence and no depth

Pours a straw color with a bright white head. Very mild aroma, but with a hint of something unpleasant...swampy? Flavor is better. A hint of citrus, hops, and old yeast. Earthy aftertaste. Not great, but drinkable.

Bottle from Secret Santa. Lagers get no respect, even when well made, and this one is no exception. The pour is hazy canary gold with 1-finger whitish head. Aroma of apricot, peach, hopcitrus, pale malt. Very fruity, nice aroma. Tastes hopcitric, pale malty, with some honey and apricot notes. The taste isn’t as fruity as the smell, but this one stays smooth, crisp, and complex all the way through, making me wish I had a sixer. In my mind, this is one of the world’s top twenty lagers.

I thought this was a stellar example of the helles style. Light, but with a slightly hoppy, bitter aftertaste. Not the greatest beer in the world, but one of the best of its style.

Columbia, SC. - Green’s Discount Beverages - 12 oz bottle - part of a mixed sixer. Medium golden pour, tight white head. Fresh lake water accents in the aroma, Smooth, refreshing lager flavor with some malty, honey-honey like sweetness, a hint of yeastiness and not much of a hop presence. Clean even mouthfeel. Decent.
