Water Street Honey Lager Light

Brewed by Water Street Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Delafield, Wisconsin USA

Light yellow. Malt and grain, some sugar. Not too bad for what it is. Thin palate. There isn’t a lot to say. For a brewer that is obviously brewing for the masses, this is the most approachable of their approachable beers.

Sampler poured draft at the brewpub (milwaukee, wi). Pours a largely transparent yellowish with thin film of a white head. Aromas are muted: light citrus and grainy. Taste is smooth, light grains, a subtle mellow honey sweetness, and light lemon. Decent lawnmower sessioner. Finishes clean, not that memorable.

On tap at Water Street Brewery in Milwaukee. Pale yellow with thin white head. Aroma of corn and light honey. Taste of corn, mild honey and some light hop character. Finishes astringent.

Pours a clear golden colour with a noticeable honey flavor, but very little structure and a slightly watered down mouthfeel. resembles many other dull american lagers, ends with a soft biscuit malted finish.

On tap at the Milwaukee location, bright pale yellow color, with no head, light sweet pale malt, with a hint of fresh wet cut hay, and a faint honeyed citrus peel aroma follows through on light-bodied palate with a crisp, faint zesty, citrusy, wet pale malt character, with a hint of honey, a light floral hop leafy accent, leading towards a citrus, lingering weak hop bitterness finish.

On draught at the brewery/brewpub in Delafield, Wisconsin. Pours a clear light golden straw brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates clean with no ring or any head. Aroma of light corn malt with some golden grain malt, honey some grassy hops and a touch of tropical fruit. Taste is light bodied, well-carbonated with a slight corn and honey flavor but quite watery. Finish is just as light and watery as its flavor with a clean cut and crisp aftertaste. It’ll keep the diet beer drinkers happy.

Ug. What the hell is that...clovers and banana, underscored with honey. Better than a bud light I guess...

On tap at the downtown brewpub on 6/21/07: Pours a transparent fizzy golden with a thin ring of white head. Aroma is slightly citrusy tart, but otherwise almost non-existent. Body starts with a lot of foamy carbonation in the mouth revealing a mild sweetness as it subsides toward a light grainy finish. Not bad for a pale lager.
