Through
the off-white head comes a very grainy aroma, with notes of grass and
hay. Despite sitting in my fridge for longer than it probably should
have, the beer tasted fresh and crisp, with distinctive noble hop
bitterness and a grainy, barnyard flavour.
A
fine take on the classic German style, Howe Sound Lager is a nice
dortmunder. It’s refreshing and flavourful, with decent bitterness. I’m
not much of a lager guy outside of sunny summer days. I think of
dortmunders and pilsners as baseball season beers, but I thought that
HSL brightened a gloomy, wet November afternoon watching week 9 in the
NFL. My only real beefs are that the beer is a touch too sweet and could
be a bit more carbonated.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
