You know at some point one would think, "Man he's got to run out of Rogue beers to try", but alas I have purchased quite a few and intend on blogging them all. So without further adieu, Maierfest Lager pours a nice orange blossom hue with quickly flattening head. Nose is mildly hoppy and well balanced. I can't quite put my finger on the hop but then again, it's a LAGER! Taste is that of pilsen grain and soft hop bitterness. Upon further research malts include Durst Pilsner, Durst Munich and Weyermann Acidulated with the addition of Oregon Perle. Yeast is a departure from the usual PacMan to Oktoberfest 2633 strain. Finish is clean and malty, and yeah, I'd hit it again.
