Lakes & Legends Local Haunt Hop Head Farms Collaboration Grungeist Lager

 Lakes & Legends Local Haunt Hop Head Farms Collaboration Grungeist Lager.  

4.2% ABV, Lakes & Legends Brewing, Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

Clear, bright golden hue, large lush ivory head. 

In the nose: floral, hoppy, alarmingly gorgeous. 

In the mouth: smooth, sleek, lightly bitter, absolutely delicious. Light-bodied, citrus flavored, supremely drinkable. Some tropical notes, as well. No ordinary lager. 

This is quite possibly the penultimate review I will pen for Lake & Legends Brewing, for they were one of several local casualties in 2023. I went to see them one final time the day before they closed and when my tab was settled, there were some rewards points coming to me,  fifteen bucks worth. I grabbed this crowler and a final pour of their BA Imperial Stout, my third of the evening. That will probably be the final review, for I had them fill a crowler for me. 

I’ll miss them, they brewed some fine beers. Wish I knew what a “grungeist “ is, though. I’ll figure it out, don’t worry about me.
