Lake Monster Calhoun Claw Pilsener
Lake Monster Calhoun Claw Pilsner. Are they saying there's a giant lobster in Lake Calhoun? Why is this beer label the first time I've heard of it? What do they know that we other Minneapolitans don't? Never mind, on with the beer.
Clear, and golden-toned, like an good pils, with a slim white head.
Aroma: clean, mild, with light floral notes. Delicate hopping. Pleasing.
Taste: crisp, with a pleasantly vibrant blast of hops, slowly mellowing, leaving the palate lightly. Light bodied, moderate malt flavors, lingering, bread-y finish. Flavorful, but easy-drinking. This is the kind of lager I like. Nice one, guys. Though, personally, I'd reach for the IPA first. If you do like lagers, I say go for it, people.
What does the label say? "With a crisp body balanced by a quick snap of bitterness, our Czech-style Pilsener is full of flavor, but still easy drinking." What do you know, that's almost what I wrote.
Brewed and bottled by Sand Creek Brewing Company, Black River Falls, WI for Lake Monster Brewing.
