Vitals:
Name: Spaten Lager
Style: German Lager
IBU: ??
ABV: 5.2%
Gravity: 11.7 OG
Purchased at: Trixie's Liquor
Descriptions:
Appearance: Pours a pale clear yellow; great visibility through the beer. Nearly no carbonation. 1.5 fingers of white head with a nice foamy cap, decent lacing (surprisingly) but not much retention.
Smell: Not too much here - light pale malt smell and some sweet grassy hops. This smells like a typical European lager, nothing great but nothing offensive here...very forgettable smell.
Taste: Very mild flavor; the malt is slightly sweet and you even get a slightly buttery taste. The beer rolls into a little bit of a lemon and citrusy hop flavor, but mostly grassy hops through the main body of the beer. The beer is very smooth and gives a balanced taste throughout; no bite, simple and uncomplicated...
Mouthfeel: This is the lightest beer I've had in a loooong time. Very smooth drinking on this one with a slightly dry finish. This is such a smooth, drinkable beer, you really can't help but love it!
Overall Grade: B
Comments: This beer is so very drinkable and is close, ABV-wise, to being a solid session beer. The taste is not great, but it's good, and the mouthfeel/drinkability wins most of the points here. If you're in for a long drinking session and want a solid lager, this is where you should start your search!
Cheers,
Hurls
