After all, what inspired me to brew was the quest for the perfect lager and I think True Blue Lager comes close. True Blue Lager is a rich, golden, full-bodied, traditional bohemian pilsner with a distinctive hop bitterness and aroma. We use two Weyermann malts, produced in southern Germany near the birthplace of pilsner beer to give the brew its complex malt flavor and golden color. We use Czech Saaz and German Northern Brewer hops in the kettle to give the brew a distinctively clean bitterness to offset the full-bodied sweetness of the malts. We add a touch of honey to the kettle just to spike the interest of the yeast. We maintain the brew at a temperature of -1°C in the fermentation tank for a month to let the lager yeast produce a clean, bright fragrance and flavor distinctive of the style. The carbonation is 100% natural to produce a smooth creaminess that is refreshing no matter how many glasses you have. True Blue Lager should be consumed at 10°C to enjoy the optimum balance of flavor and hop bitterness. True Blue Lager starts at a specific gravity of 1.050 and finishes below 1.010 with an alcohol content by volume (ABV) of about 5%.
