Nasch

Produced by the Kensington Brewing Co. in Toronto, Nasch is a 5.3% Vienna lager. It’s a clear amber-gold brew with hearty carbonation and a thin sheet of white head. The beer is sold in unlabeled 600mL bombers.

Nasch has a sweet and toasty malt-forward aroma with some nut and caramel notes. The flavour is of toast and malt, with some metallic notes as well. While I found it to be fairly crisp, it was also a little too mild for the style. The finish has a coppery bitterness, but not a lot of hops action.

Kensington’s take on the Vienna lager style was an adequate one, though nothing special. I wanted it to be a bit more rich and nutty than it was, though the beer was definitely refreshing and enjoyably mellow.

Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
