This unfiltered version of the Golden Lager was on-tap at the brewery when I stopped in. Growler.

Pours a cloudy yellow-gold with a tight, frothy head that does not retain too well. Some lacing.

Aroma is nothing special; very grainy. Interestingly there was a hint of fruitiness, perhaps lemon or other citrus.

The flavor is quite light, but satisfying. There is a big grainy and bready malt presence coupled with a touch of noble hop earthiness. There is an interesting lemony, fruity flavor that reminds me of a wheat beer, oddly enough. Maybe it is coming from the yeast and sediment that would normally be filtered out in this brew. Either way I dig it. Mouthfeel was light, with medium-low carbonation.

This low abv lager is eminently drinkable. I like the added flavor that comes with the lack of filtering. I could see it being a great replacement for a macro lager.

Serving type: growler
