HOSS RYE LAGER
12 FL. OZ., 6.2% ALC. BY VOL.
Brewed and Bottled by The Great Divide Brewing Co., Denver Colorado 80205
FROM THE LABEL: "Hoss is based on the Marzen lagers of Germany. Rich, layered malt notes with hints of cherry and dark fruits dominate, while the unique addition of rye imparts a slightly earthy, spicy character. Hoss finishes crisp and dry and its brillant red- orange color is a toast to the sunsets that make the perfect backdrop for this beer."
FROM THE MOUTH: OCTOBERFEST/MARZEN: Nice interpretation of a lager; I can almost see myself in one of those great old German beer halls . This is not a simple lager and I am enjoying the complexity of malt with the earthy notes of rye. Lack of bitter hops makes it go down smooth, so watch out... 6.2 ABV sneaks up fast. A+
FROM THE STORE: Trader Joe's
