Maplewood Brewing Company Lounge Lager
What the brewers say
“A lager brewed with 6-row barley, and Midwestern flaked corn. Crisp and refreshing.”
What our panel thought
“A puff of sulfur on the nose. Moderate hop bitterness with a very slight sweetness. Light, neutral grain flavor with a little sweet corn on the back, but finishes clean and dry with a bit of a carbonic bite. Bitterness presents itself in a light earth, dry dirt flavor, accentuating the sulfur note.”
What our editors thought
“Toasted orange peel and warm almost oaky notes in the nose. The sip is a touch thin and downplays the energy of the nose.”
