Dave's BrewFarm Roggen Lager
Dave's BrewFarm Roggen Lager. Not to be confused with Rauch'n Lager. 5.2 % ABV.
Appearance: clear, plummy red coloring, slim, soon-gone head.
Aroma: Spicy rye malt leaps out of the glass and into the nose. Sweet caramel malt notes complement. Hops lay low. Enticing.
Taste: Now, hops are rising to the challenge, imparting enough bitterness to meet the malt. Full malt flavor continues to deliver, with excellent balance the key to consummate consumability. Light to medium bodied. Long lasting sweet maltiness with a spicy rye kick. I can say a lot of nice things about this one. I already have. That about covers it.
Wait, one more thing. What, does Farmer Dave say about it? "Pils, Melanoidin, Rye and Caramel 80 malts, and Perle, Magnum and Tettnanger hops fermented with a lager yeast result in a crisp, spicy lager."
