This is an "old world" lager style beer from Harpoon Brewery in Boston, MA. This 22 ounce beer was purchased at the brewery during Bryan's whirlwind beer tour of Boston. It was refrigerated at 35-40F and served at a temperature just a bit higher.
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep the review as brief as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: coppery, with a thin head
Bryan: cloudy bronze color; small tight head
Smell
Adam: sweet, yeasty, nutty
Bryan: fresh and pleasant lager yeast aroma
Taste
Adam: slightly sweet; marzen-like Oktoberfest with a bite
Bryan: slight tang to accompany the pleasant malt flavor
Mouthfeel
Adam: well carbonated; not thin
Bryan: nicely carbonated; but leaves room for a smooth beer and its nice flavors
Drinkability
Adam: clean and crisp
Bryan: yes, very drinkable for beer geeks and amateurs alike!
Seconds?
Adam: yes
Bryan: yes, tipping the scales at about 5%, this could squeak in as a nice session beer
