COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This traditional style lager is wonderfully balanced, lightly hopped, mildly malty, and left unfiltered. Acoustic ales has decided to go back to the roots of the historic mission brewery! We brewed this pre-prohibition style lager to emulate the recipe brewed 100 years ago at this very location.

It’s been so hot this summer and it’s nice to have a true lager with a little bit of a back bone. A great alternative to stupid heineken and stella. I could work out in the yard all day sipping on this brew. Crisp and Clean. A great anytime brew

I dont usually love lagers, but this one has more backbone than most domestic lagers. Hopski (apparently named after the hop soda made 100 years ago by the original Mission brewery in Acoustic Ales location). This nice lager is easy drinking and cean, w a light hoppiness.

Des arômes de céréales et de foin dans lesquels une mouffette a eue un pipi nerveux. En bouche c’est rondelet, fortement herbacé avec un bon support d’un sucre qui pourrait provenir de l’érable. Plus fraiche, elle pourrait rappeler la bavière.

Bomber - gold pour with really lively carbonation kicking up a substantial head - nose has strong mineral that borders on metallic - some honey and grass - medium body - flavor is a little sweet and has some notes of corn that I do not like, but also grassy and herbal hops that are fairly pleasant - dry mineral character and a carbonic bite on the tail end, with hints of metal - meh, there’s some potential here, I guess, but it needs a lot of work.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Aroma of pale malt and a different hop. Meaning I can’t put a label on it. Med body. Flavor of pale malt and fruity/grassy/herb hops. Hops up front, but a mildly sweet breadiness follows. Overall it’s decently bitter. A different flavor profile, but it’s good.

Pale Lager rating #100, :(
Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a nice crystal clear gold body that supports a white head of foam that leaves behind some nice lacing. The modest aroma offers up some ester fruity lager notes as well as corn on the cob goodness. The taste delivers a pleasing mix of bitter hops and sort of herbal hops, floral hoppiness and then creamed corn notes sliding into modest sweet lagery esters. It ends with a nice lingering hoppiness. Solid hop forward and crisp tasting lager.

Short: A sharp pils with a metallic bite

Origin: Tap at Encinitas Ale House Sample: 4oz Glass: Mini Flute Price: $2 Date: 1/18/14
Long: Pours fizzing clear golden with okay foam. Sweet corn lager nose with pear and flashes of appropriate for style DMS. Taste is sweet up front finishing with a sharp, metallic pilsner like bite. As it warms I’m liking it more and more.
Flaws: Metallic
Remedy: Leeching from metal during boil? Could be water profile accentuates the hop content and gives it a sharp, twang.
