Three Floyds Region X Export Lager

Three Floyds Region X Export Lager. 6 % ABV. 26 IBU.
Three Floyds Brewing, Munster, IN.

Have I had a lager from Three Floyds before? An Imperial Pilsner. And that's it. IPAs, pale ales, saison, double IPA, black ale, stout, Berliner weisse, Scottish ale, barley-wine, all the styles of the rainbow, but no other lagers. So, let's drink it.

Crystal-clear, bright golden, large ivory head, swiftly collapsting. Looking good.

In the nose: Clean, slightly grainy, lightly floral, wide-open and un-troubled.

In the mouth: Just a kiss of the hops, here. More clean, quite crisp, a touch of fruit and grain in the taste. Slightly sweet. Super smooth. Expert balance. Lightly toasty malt. Altogether pleasing.

A smooth and crisp German-style lager. Lightly hopped with traditional noble hops and brewed slightly stronger than other light-colored lagers to help us get through the cool spring nights around The Region.
