Yeasayer

 Billed as a “lagerbier”, Yeasayer is a 4.8% pale lager from Bloomfield, Ontario’s Matron Fine Beer. Clear and pale gold, Yeasayer comes out of its 355mL can with a sudsy white head.

Yeasayer features a fresh, grainy nose with a crackle of noble hops as subtext. The flavour is metallic, grainy, and surprisingly hoppy, with a faintly floral character. The beer has a crisp and lively texture that makes it extremely guzzle-able.

This li’l lager from Matron is a bright and enjoyable product. In my vernacular, it’s a classic early Sunday afternoon football watching brew. Just a classic beer to accompany the early lineup of games.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
