Southern Tier Krampus Imperial Helles Lager Imperial / Double Pilsner 88 out of 100
Backbone: Two-Row Pale, Debittered Black, Munich and Caramel Malts, Chinook and Willamette Hops ![]() Strawberry Syrup, Peat, Damp Woodlands, Brown Sugar, Fried Mushroom, Carrot Juice ![]() Star Anise, Lemon Juice, Kumquat, Violet, Black Licorice, Cayenne Pepper ![]() $8 | 1x 22ox bottle This is a roll up your sleeves and get involved kind of lager, wonderfully complex and extremely lively. Following a sweet and musty tickle of the nose, an incendiary device of bitter grassy herbaceousness and concentrated citrus fruit engulf the palate. Do not, I repeat, do not let the 'lager' name mislead you into sharing this beverage with amateur craft beer drinkers, this is one toned brute with a big set of strong teeth. The clean bitterness and background acidity make this big ass lager a wonderful match for tart seafood dishes, astringent pastas and sour salads. | ||||||
