![]() “In my mind, this recipe is an example of simplicity at its best. Notes from Brad, Northern Brewer Head Brewer: Smooth sipping with a lingering creaminess on the palate. Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation.Very low to no spicy hop flavor with moderate bitterness. Flavor: Malt flavors dominate with a slightly sweet, grainy flavor and subtle layers of toasty Munich malt.Appearance: Deep golden to nearly light amber color with good clarity after lagering.Very low fermentation-derived whiffs of faint fruity esters and a tiny hint of sulfur. Very low hop aroma of faint herbals and earthy spice. Aroma: Medium-high malt aromas with hints of pilsner sweetness and a noticeable toasty character.The result is a deep golden beer with a dense and lasting white foam head, and a complex flavor profile with moderately high alcohol content. Packed with delicious fresh, clean pilsner malt flavor and layered with a smattering of Munich malt, this lager is then just bittered enough to balance the malt sweetness and fermented with a clean, crisp, and relatively attenuative classic German lager strain.
