Beer of the Week: Straub Lager

Beer score: 5.4

Company: Straub Brewery

ABV: 4.1
IBU: 8

Pours a light, golden color from bottle to glass, followed by scents of bread and a very light sweetness.

Goes down extremely smooth, almost too smooth. However, there's not a lot of flavor. Oh, there are hints of grain and maybe corn in the taste, but not much. It doesn't taste bad, but honestly, there's not much taste at all.

People who like water will enjoy this beer. That sounds flippant, and this isn't an awful beer, but it's also not a fantastic beer. Would it quench your thirst? Absolutely. Will it hit the spot if you're in the mood for something super light? You bet. But if you're wanting something with a lot of flavor and textures, this isn't the beer for you.
