Indeed Dandy Lager


Indeed Dandy Lager Pale Lager. 5.4% ABV, 12 fluid ounce can, 40 IBU. "Noble, Crisp, Lively." "We Are Thirsty Creatures Indeed."

Appearance: Clear, bright yellow, lush ivory head, leaving lace.

Aroma: malty, cereal grain nose, little else, not much from hops. A little flowery.

Taste: Crisp, indeed. Zippy play on the palate, with a lasting malty mouthfeel. Hops are here, if they weren't detected in the nose. Light-bodied, with sufficiently full of character and charm. Lingering, pleasant hop bitterness hanging in there. Clean and refreshing, just right for summertime.

Dandy Lager is in classic German style, with pilsner and CaraHell malts, and all German hops: Hallertauer and Mandarina Bavaria, with a classic Czech lager yeast. This is being launched as a year-round and referred to as a flagship. (How many flagships can you have?) Though I have to say again that I'm not partial to this style, it;s hitting all the right marks, and has every chance of being a hit for Indeed.
