Thomas Hooker Brewery - Munich Style Golden Lager
Purchased From: Harvest Fine Wines & Spirits
Serving Type: 12 oz. bottle, poured into a flute glass
Another installment from one of my favorite local breweries is Hooker’s Munich-style lager. This lager pours a hazy golden straw with glowing orange notes. The head is a generous and somewhat creamy white foam. The nose is a sweet clean malt with a mild musty yeast. There’s a light citrusy (primarily oranges) hop aroma as well.
The mouthfeel is chewy and goes along nicely with the distinct graininess of the beer. It’s clear that there’s a ton of Hooker’s fresh light base malt in the beer. Mild, but not acidic white grape juice flavors sneak their way in too. The hops are very mild but add a pleasant accent to the malty flavor. Overall this beer is very crisp and extraordinarily drinkable, however, I would say it doesn’t exactly fall in line with the Helles Lager style. But, it is certainly a great American take.
Final Verdict: B+
