Dave's BrewFarm Select

Been putting off re-posting this review for some time. Perhaps because the last attempt at photographing the can didn't turn out well. Damn shiny aluminum! Well, as a famous moose once said with alacrity to his friend the squirrel: "This time for sure!"

These are notes from December, 2009:


BrewFarm Select

Golden Lager, All-Malt, 12 oz. can

Disembarks the can and boards the glass with hefty head holding firm on top, lacey and white, clear and golden-hued below.

Light, malty nose, cereal husk, with a little honey-ish sweetness. Lean and clean.

Taste: malt and water. Very clean, light, and just enough flavor from the malt, with a tidy little blast of hops, to keep it interesting. Incredibly easy to drink, with appreciable flavor.

Quality lager, all the way. I'm not typically a lager guy, but this is top-notch. Almost perfect.
Must admit, though, I'm eager to try to real BrewFarm products. The ones where Dave will really let loose. Til then, this'll bring home the bacon.

Two and a half years later, it's not clear how much bacon Select brought home, but it did have many fans. Maybe not enough, because it's future is in doubt, at least as a contracted brew. As much as I want to see more LaBrewatory products leave the BrewFarm and enter the market, I also hope to see this fine lager survive.
