---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
101 | Bamboo Beer | Canada | Pale Lager | 2.5
Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 Can. Colour - very clear pale straw colour, huge frothy white cap which doesn't linger, no lacing. Aroma - earthy hops, wet cardboard, a slight diacetyl note. Mouthfeel - thin bodied, very well carbonated. Flavour - grainy malt with a bitter hop finish. I'm not sure where the bamboo is in the beer as both the aroma and flavour were typical of a slighlty sub-par craft pale lager (but still better than a macro pale lager). |
