Batch19
euge:
Pre-prohibition style lager!
Inspired by a 1919 recipe; this is an offering by Coors I was to find out later with a web-search. A golden bright fizzy lager with a decent malt and hop backbone. A tad sweet but balanced. Lightly herbal and citrusy with a faint currant nose. Definitely reminiscent of the Coors malt profile.
Nice beer. If they were drinking beer like this back then then they were drinking well! The macros would do well to take notice.

so i just tried this last night. i have a patient who is a beer distributor and drops me off a case of varied stuff every now and then. this was in the offering. i was very surprised at how good this was. enough so that i may buy some in the near future. nothing fancy. not over the top with any special flavors etc. just a easy drinking but hearty beer. unfortunately there was only one in the mix.

I have had that one on tap at a local restaurant and was surprised that I enjoyed it. I have a hard time with any of the new beers the big 3 are coming out with to take on the micros. I would say; "Support your local brewer!", but dang, Coors and Bud are local brewers in Colorado. Time for another hike up the 14er Quandary Peak.......

IIRC, it is a Pre-Prohibition CAP. You can make one!

i have a few from my brew last summer, and will brew another for late spring, but quite honestly, mine was not that good. next one will be much improved though.
