The 5% pale lager is
clear, straw-gold, and amply carbonated. It pours with a loose white
head and has an aroma that combines sweet, slightly toasted malt
elements with some graininess and a bit of floral hops. The flavour is
primarily sweet, with grain and toast notes, initially. Where I’d expect
crisp bitterness to close things out, the beer delivers only modest
noble hops, while the sweetness persists.
Frühschoppen
is a decent beer from an excellent brewery—in a way, it suffers from
the expectations created by GLB’s high quality offerings. Too sweet and
insufficiently crisp, but otherwise enjoyable beer.
Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
