Vermont Pub Ethan Alien Lager

Clearish golden, direct pour covered by a superb small white cover with a very lacy, sticky white foam. Slightly vegetal, very grainy, sweetish lager with a toasty, cerealic palate. Very soft carbonation. Surprisingly filling palate that grows a good dryness, but never offers much hop aromas. Clean and satisfying offering, if maltier than anticipated.

sampled at the brewpub. Aroma is grassy, earthy hops, and grains. Taste is light sweet malts, earthy dry hops, with a crisp finish. Not great, but very drinkable.

Robe blonde très claire surmontée d’une mousse blanche mince. Arômes de carton et de citron. Saveurs de carton, de citron, de céréales et de houblon amérisant.

Bright yellow gold color, with a an off-white head, subtle wet hay, hint of grassy hop, pale malt aroma follows through on a light-bodied palate with a fresh cut hay, hint of bubblegum yeastiness, juicy leafy, fruity note, leading towards a faint hop bittering finish.

Clear blonde with a small off-white head. Smells nothing. Unmemorable taste of hay/straw with minimal hop finish. Its main goal is probably to satisfy the macro drinkers. It is much superior to the macro Pale Lagers but that’s not saying a lot. So there is an Alien Beer in Burlington, and like in cheap sci-fi movies it is virtually indiscernible from a normal beer.
