American Pale Lager | 4.50% ABV
Anyone that knows me, knows how I feel about American Pale Lagers... I usually HATE them. They are usually a sad excuse of a beer because many of the big guys (Miller, AB, etc) have ruined them with their adjunct filled garbage. Usually the beers reek of corn and rice. I’m also not a fan of lagers in general.
HOWEVER, this beer does not reflect the typical american pale lagers that most people would associate with the style. This beer pours the typical APL color, light gold. The beer is very clean and crisp with a moderate amount of carbonation. The one thing that really sets this one apart for me is the hop profile. TommyKnocker has to use the same hope additions for this beer as they do their Pick Axe Pale Ale. Right of the bat you get a very nice clean beer with a hint of citrus and a piny flavor. I prefer Pick Axe, but this beer is a nice alternative if I can’t find Pick Axe. This would also be a great session beer or a beer to share with friends.
