Schell's Hopfenmaltz

I've been pleasantly surprised by Schell's over the years; they'd been around for decades before the craft beer craze hit the states, yet have consistently put out a variety of quality beers of various styles. In the fridge this week at Ill-Gotten Booty HQ we've got a few of Schell's 150th Anniversary offerings. Hopfenmalz is a pale lager, pilser-y in style, hops are in evidence, but not at the expense of smoothness. This pale amber brew has some light citrus notes, with a grassy, almost lemony back beat. Like all Schell's offerings, nothing fancy, just good ol' American beer.
