This beer smells malty, sort of amber ale territory almost, with vague indistinct hops. The palate is comprised mostly of mid level malts, with backing hops and a clear lager finish.
I can sort of see what they're going for here but to be honest, feel like the aim is a bit arse-about. If you hop up a pilsner, you can produce something that's easy drinking yet with a bit of character to it too. If you take a perfectly good ale and use lager yeast .. well, you lose a lot more than you gain in my opinion. The lower fermentation temp and dryer finish take a lot out of the malt complexity and you're left with something that's just not that memorable. I certainly wouldn't session this, nor drink it for fun or interest.
Ok as an experiment I guess. But again, who is this for? 5.0
