TASTING NOTES

We filled our mash tun to the brim with lightly toasted malt and balanced it with just enough German hops before a long lager fermentation. The resulting beer features a Vienna malt profile balanced mostly by a round ethanol warmth and dark stone fruit esters in a traditional German lager perfect for days with cold mornings and warm afternoons. 6.5 % alc/vol

SECRET TECHNIQUES

Not messing much with this classic lager featuring lighter color but elevated alcohol. We just got mad and decided to brew a Maibock last April when the, like, hundred thousand American craft breweries there are were not making a Maibock when we wanted to drink one. Vienna malt comes to the forefront after selecting a specific lager yeast and fermentation temperature schedule.
