1876 | Post-Game Brewing Locker Room Lager | Canada | Pale Lager | 1.6
Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2 473ml can <br> 4.2% Abv <br> Canned On: March 20, 2018 <br> Main/Thompson LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> April 30, 2018<br> $2.35<br> The beer poured a very clear light gold colour with a very small white ring for a head. Only a month old and no head, not off to a good start. The aroma is very faint with hints of musty grains and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, very crisp, and above average carbonation. The flavour is non-existant. It tastes like highly carbonated water with a hint of grains, just a hint. It’s not ‘off flavours’ like most macro lagers, there just is no discernable flavour. Aside from the mouthfeel, there is nothing to make me think this is a beer. |
