Charlie Flint's Original Lager
My first lager in.... ages.... pours out a crystal clear pale straw yellow. A glossy thin white head forms easily and quickly shrinks into the beer with little lacing. A light grainy sweet aroma comes through, with the slightest hint of spicy hops. The flavour is clean, but malty. Some sweetness begins up front, a crisp acidity in the middle, and a lightly bitter and hoppy finish cut it clean. The body is much richer than I'd expect, perhaps a bit too much. Heh. Maybe they should use some rice instead of all the malt. (yes, of course I'm kidding). This is a very interesting and enjoyable beer. I've never quite had a "regular" lager like this. As usual, Alley Kat produces a wonderful product.
