AGAINST THE GRAIN LAGER ~ HIGH PARK BREWERY

Against the Grain is a light lager brewed in the German style, with a blend of malts and German and American malts. Sampled on drought the brew poured a clear golden amber with a small white head, which left some nice lacing. The nose is simple and straightforward, with lots of grainy biscuity goodness as well as some grassy hops. The flavour follows with a lovely balance of sweet malts and hops, very subtle orchard fruit, and a mild hop bitterness. The flavour was more than expected from a Euro style lager. The finish was clean and crisp and off-dry, and the carbonation was moderate. Very pleasant and easily sessionable.
