Review - Fordham Brewing Co.'s Lager
"Our Fordham Lager is a golden Bavarian-style lager, with a firm malty body, a subtle hop character, and a slightly sweet finish. Helles is the German word for light or pale, referring to the color of the beer. This is the everyday drinking beer for Germans in Munich. Fordham Lager is bottom-fermented, making it a lager beer, and has a medium to light-body. It has a clean, malt accented aroma and a malty finish with little hop bitterness. Our Fordham Lager is a very balanced beer, meaning that it is not too sweet and not too bitter. It is brewed mostly with pale malted barley and small amounts of Vienna and Munich malts, which increases the body and maltiness in the beer." -- Fordham Brewing
Pours a light yellow color with a fizzy, white head that quickly dissipates. No lacing, very light body, clear and still. Aroma is what you would expect from the style, with faint bread malts present, and not much else. Initial taste is almost non-existent, with a quick, light sweet, but grows to a light bitter with a honey taste without the sweet. Light body with watery texture, soft carbonation.
