Serenity

Serenity is a hoppy lager brewed in Toronto by Rorschach Brewing Co. It’s a sessionable 4.5% lager sold in 473mL cans. The beer within is a sunny straw colour with loads of carbonation and a thin layer of white suds.

This pale lager has a gritty, earthy hops nose, with a faint whiff of gym shoe. The flavour, too, is extremely bitter, with floral and earthy hops notes that I’d usually associate with an English IPA. The mouthfeel is crisp and crackling, making this a very refreshing lager.

This is an enjoyable lager with an odd and agreeable flavour profile. It’s session-friendly but packed with bitterness. The only drawback is that touch of feet in the nose.

Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
