First sip is a good one. The malt has a very bread taste to it. There isn't a hint of any sweet malt in there. That is not to say that it's bad, though. It has a hint of caramel in there, but I'm really not tasting the hops at all.
Time to take a big swig and see what this beer is made of.
A big swig is pretty nice. It has the same flavor as before, but there is a bit of sweet in the middle alongside the taste of fresh baked bread. As the beer warms, the bread taste gets heavier. It augments the taste in the middle, but the initial taste and finish are the same as before.
It's a very good beer - I would say that the amber lagers are quickly earning a place in my heart and in my fridge. I had always leaned toward amber ales as far as amber beers go, but this really seems like a sweet spot for the lager style beverages.
4.25/5
