TOASTED LAGER ~ BLUE POINT BREWING COMPANY 

(owned by Anheuser Busch)

RED, WHITE & BREW ~ Toasted Lager is Blue Points flagship beer and most popular brew. The brew was made with six different malts (English Pale, Crystal, Munich, Carapils, Wheat and Belgian Caravienna) in a direct fire brew kettle, which gives the beer its toasted flavour. Sampled on draught, this Vienna style lager poured a slightly hazy coppery amber colour with generous beige head, which left minimal lacing. The nose is quite muted with notes of bready malts, caramel and a bit of hops. The taste too is also very mild, with biscuit malts and a touch of caramel. There is some hop presence to balance the sweetness of the malts with a dry finish. The body is medium,as lively and refreshing. Though this has won many awards in Beer Awards and Cups, his is a simple brew. It is refreshing and would pair with many foods, but lacks any kind of complexity.
