Commercial Description:
This Export Lager features a single stage decoction—a first for Tröegs Brewery. After combining barley and water we transfer a portion of the mash to the brew kettle for a quick boil. The heated mash is then returned to the mash kettle and the brewing process continues. This process deepens the malt character and adds a subtle toffee backbone to this delicious lager.

We’ve added Magnum hops for bittering and Czech Saaz hops for aroma to create a classic European Noble hop flavor.

Scratch #6-2007 is unfiltered, so there will be a slight haze to the beer.

Bottle sampled. Pours golden with a decent size white head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, and biscuit. The flavor is sweet, honey, fruit, citrus, biscuit, and a mild bitter finish. The most disappointing scratch brew i had yet.

A typical D/H. Has a bit more bite to it than most which is a good thing. Aroma was very weak. Could pick up some grass and not much else. Pour was a nice murky medium gold with a one finger white head and some thousands of tiny floaties (I love that they didn’t filter this!). Taste was nice, crisp and refreshing. Light pilsener malt all the way through with some hops coming out to dry the mouth and bitter the tongue. Great carbonation and dryness. I’ve upped the ratings twice as I finish the glass.

cheers to Beerlando for this one! Sweet malty aroma honey with a hint of cereal grains. Pours cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Sweet malts, hints of citrus, grassy, a good bite and dry finish. Not bad and easy to drink.

Bottle. Deep hazy golden in color with a little white head. Bready malty citrusy aroma. Lemon, orange citrusy notes. Malty and fruity flavor. Pineapple notes. Crisp and refreshing. Finish is dry. Very drinkable.

Bottle. I’ve seen a lot of great looking beers and this is as good as any of them when poured into a Hennepin glass. Gold with a thick, white head. Aroma is bread with a hint of lemon, like a cupcake. Flavor is a great mix of zesty citrus and pineapple. Nice light flavor makes this a really refreshing beer. Bravo!
