Lager

This beer, Festbrook from Westbrook Brewing Co. in Mt. Pleasent, South Carolina, is a Wiesn-style golden lager with CTZ, dry-hopped with Hallertal Mittelfruh hops, German Lager yeast, Munich, Pils, and Vienna malts. This beer is 6.5% ABV. This beer, according to the brewery, is great for drinking by the masses. This feist beer pours golden with a two-finger white semi-quick fading head. The aroma is sweet, with light banana, wheat, and malt. The flavor is malty, sweet, clean, dry, light banana, and light bodies. The mouthfeel is light. This beer finishes with a lightness that is dry with some sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing with light semi-sweetness. This beer is so delicious and deserving of an A+. I always enjoy Westbrook Brewing beers, and this one is no different, and you shouldn’t miss out on this October seasonal. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly!

This Dark Lager from Tripping Animals in Doral, Florida, is Dark No Mames, a dark version of No Mames Lager. This beer is a 6% ABV year-round beer. I have never had a beer from Tripping Animals, so this is a first. This dark lager pours dark with a two-finger beige head that quickly fizzes down to a one-finger head. It slowly fades from there. The aroma is nutty, roasted, and malted. The flavor is crisp for a dark lager, and it’s nutty, roasted, and malted with hints of faint coca. I do not think chocolate or cocoa is used to brew this beer. This has a light to medium mouthfeel. Then, it has a malty, roasted, crispish finish. The aftertaste is a malted, roasted, nutty flavor. This is a good beer that a few could be had before the flavor started to overwhelm your taste buds. That means, yes, you should be drinking this A-graded beer. So far, Tripping Animals beer(s) are good. I will try more. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
