LAGER

*Spaten Oktoberfest - Germany

This is a classic of the Oktoberfest style. It pours a transparent brown with reddish orange hints and the white head dissipates quickly leaving a nice lace. It has the smell of a good lager, but with the slightest amount of crystal malts to add color and a bit of sweetness. Refreshing taste; not too plain nor too bold resulting in a fine balanced beer.

*Krusovice Dark - Czech Republic

Dark reddish brown color with burnt sugar, and clay aromas, which lead to a round frothy entry. A dry-yet-fruity medium body of grainy roasted malt, sweet cocoa, caramelized dark roasted nuts, and loamy mineral flavors that finish with a tangy cocoa-dusted citrus and a clay-like hop fade. This is a Classic Czech style dark lager with a wonderfully earthy edge.

*Stella Artois - Belgium

The appearance of this beer is unbeatable! The golden straw color sits with a beautiful foam crown on top. As you drink, sudsy lace clings to the sides.

Towards the bottom of the glass, the floral hops come through.
