Olympia
I’ve never had one of these before, so I thought this would be a good place to start on this little adjunct beer journey I’m about to begin. I’m planning on hosting a Beer Club for adjunct lagers, which they will be put into a NCAA style bracket. This is a classic beer from this area, originally brewed in Tumwater, WA (just south of Olympia). Now it’s brewed in California, which makes it’s old slogan, “It’s the Water” pretty ridiculous.
Stats:
American Adjunct Lager. 4.8% ABV. Illinois (Brewed in California).
Pale yellow in color. The head was surprisingly nice, but mostly disappeared at this point.
Pretty typical aroma. Grainy malt with a hint of sweetness. Not terrible.
Highly carbonated. Light body. What did you expect?
Very, very light flavor. It makes Corona look like craft beer. Fairly dry but with a slight sugary flavor on the finish if that makes sense.
It doesn’t offend me, but it also has no redeeming qualities. 66 points.
Now drink a sixer while watching Every Which Way But Loose. Love that movie!
Haha consider it done.
I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your blogs really
nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back down the road. Cheers
