Beer-a-Day #339 Perfectly balanced, this authentic version of a German helles-style lager satisfies gloriously. Lean, German malts and fine European hops offer subtle harmony. Pale straw; white head. Odor is light with a bit of grain. Taste is light with some floral essence. A good session beer. Victory Lager submit_url = ‘http://hop-talk.com/2009/12/05/victory-lager/’; Related Posts:Victory St.

Beer-a-Day #330 Our classic German lager has a perfect balance of caramel malt sweetness. Look for a rich, amber color and medium body. Pale amber with an off-white head; small bubbles. Slight earthy and peppery aroma. A little toastiness in the taste.

Beer-a-Day #243 This light pilsner has the taste signature of a Beck’s, with a calorie count that’s as refreshing as the beer itself. You’ll find a crisp, light experience that lives up to the Beck’s name and reputation in every bottle. It’s taste you can count on, even if you’re not counting calories. Oh my

Beer-a-Day #240 Don’t let the deep copper color fool you. This isn’t the dark ale you’d expect. This is a special bottom-fermented lager that lives up to Beck’s quality standards. It gets it color from a unique roasting of the barley malt. It refreshes like the true lager beer it is. And its rich, smooth taste

Beer-a-Day #207 Michelob used to be the upscale brand in the Anheuser-Busch stable. No yelling former athletes, no snarky comedians, no scantilly-clad women. I do recall one commercial featured Eric Clapton doing a redone version of “After Midnight“. Then it seemed to be mostly neglected, with A-B tinkering with the formula, only restoring Michelob to

Beer-a-Day #170 So, I was at my preferred retailer the other day, buying up another batch beer I’ve never had before, when I spotted something I never expected to see. Cans of Brooklyn beer. Get out! When did this happen?! Why wasn’t I informed? Too bad the cans are black. You’d think they would have

Beer-a-Day #168 Uh-oh, it’s in a green bottle. Oh good, it’s not from Europe. Oh wait, it’s from New Zealand, which is even farther away. And then they go and mock American Football right there on the label. They’re not exactly endearing themselves to me, and I haven’t even opened the bottle. Once opened, the

Beer-a-Day #162 This beer is our speciality. In 1894 Spaten became the first brewery in Munich to produce this brand of light lager. Golden in color with a well-balanced hop-flavor. The full rounded body is a superb balance between hops and a malty sweetness. Uh-oh. A European light lager in a green bottle. Pale straw

The Hacker-Pschorr Brewery is known as Bavaria’s Heaven – “Himmel der Bayern.” Hacker-Pschorr’s Munich Gold represents the real thing from one of the oldest breweries
