Positive Reinforcement

Rorschach Brewing Company calls its 6% alcohol festbier Positive Reinforcement and sells it in 473mL cans. It’s a clear, deep gold lager that pours with a tuft of white suds.

The beer has a malty, slightly metallic aroma, and its flavour largely matches. The beer has sweet and malty notes in the early stages and grows into a fairly healthy bitter and dry finish. In the background, there are pleasant metallic notes and grainy elements.

Festbiers aren’t something I have a lot of experience with, but I can say that I enjoyed this punch little lager a fair bit. It was quite flavourful, yet still relatively refreshing. I wouldn’t call it particularly memorable, but it was plainly well-made.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
