Waldmann Brewery India Pale Lager

Waldmann Brewery India Pale Lager.
ABV: 6.2,  IBU: 60.
Waldmann Brewery, St. Paul, MN.

Crystal clear, bright amber hue, long-lasting white head.

In the nose: Clean, lightly fruity, slightly floral. Nice, lager-y aromatics, with a hit of hops.

In the mouth: Slight bitterness at the start, highly hopped for a lager. Crisp and clean, light-bodied, easy-drinking. Flavors of citrus and melon come forth from the hops. Malt forward, slightly sweet and highly satisfying.  This is my kind of lager, excellent drinkability and tasty stuff, for sure.

Once more, thanks to Ed for helping me sample St. Paul's finest.

This is copied off of the crowler label (only to discover later that I could've copied and pasted it from their website): A quintessentially German IPL, decoction mashed with all-German malts, cold-conditions and bursting with 60 IBUs of Hercules, Huell Melon, and Mandarina Bavaria hops that provide a soft bittering of resinous orange and an aroma of melons and berries. Unfiltered for full flavor.
