Beer

In-and-of itself the Creemore Lager is a very good beer. It is a golden colour going on slight copper (lighting here is poor unfortunately). The nose is clean with no estery notes - proper for a lager. I'm not getting any malt nose off it either - which is neither here nor there for a lager (you can have malt nose, or not, depending on what type of lager since there are a dozen or more beer styles under the banner "lager"). There is a distinct and ever-so-slightly sweet malt character on the palate - not thick and overwhelming, cloying; but solid and rather pleasant. Because of this I'm actually surprised I'm not getting a malt nose - gave it a very good swish in my glass but nothing.
