Comments:
Half Acre’s trying, and their first attempt, a lager, isn’t half bad. They don’t have any brewery space in Chicago, so they’re using a contract brewer in Wisconsin to cook up their recipe.
This lager pours a light caramel color with a big, foamy head that leaves a lot of lacing. It’s clear and smells a little of what I like to call “roasty toasty,” as if something’s burned in the brewing process and you get a little of that burnt/roasted smell here.
On the initial sip you do get that burnt taste, followed by a fair amount of water. That burnt feel stays with you on subsequent sips, but the whole beverage does mellow out a bit as you enjoy the rest of the mug.
As I said, it’s not a bad beer, and hopefully that bodes well for future offerings from Half Acre.
