Berghof from Drayman's Brewery
Rating: B-
Bought at the brewery in Silverton, glad to be the first to review it.
Appearance: Comes in a 1 liter brown plastic bottle. Very lager looking in the glass - yellow gold color, very clear, good head and lacing. According to what I heard at the brewery, this is intended to be Drayman's most "accessible" offering, and the apperance fits.
Smell: Yeast fruitiness is the dominant scent - first hint this isn't a lager (the brewery doesn't have the cold rooms for lagering, so the Kolsch is an attempt to make something close-enough)
Taste: Simple, accessible. A touch of fruitiness and hops, but not very strongly flavored. Finishes on a strong malt note, which seems a little out of place.
Mouthfeel & Drinkability: Pretty light, slightly odd finish, good carbonation. As far as drinkability goes, it's definitely a thirst quencher, good alternative to Castle and Windhoek, but since it's trying to be accessible for loyal drinkers of those brands, it's not too interesting on its own. Not Drayman's best beer, but solid.
Serving type: bottle
