Surly - Hell Lager



Surly Brewing - Hell Lager

Hell Lager is a 4.5% ABV German style Munich Helles by Surly Brewing outside of Minneapolis in Brooklyn Center, MN.  Unfiltered, brewed with Pilsner malt, and fermented with German Lager yeast.

This lager pours a straw/Mountain Dew yellow with a good beige white head that fades moderately.  Good carbonation flowing through the glass and light lacing.

Hell smells of yeast and light citrus fruit.  There are also some pilsner malt aromas along with bread and grains.

Surly's Hell Lager tastes of wheat, light citrus and yeast, and pilsner malt.  Also some light bread and grains.  Crisp and medium bodied with a semi-dry finish.

Hell Lager by Surly is a very good representation of the style.  If you're into lagers and German style beers, this is definitely one you may enjoy.

Score: 4/5 (Untappd Caps)
