Checking in again on another fine day with a brew we picked up at Idle Hands.
Beer Name: Essential Premium Lager
Brewery: Idle Hands Craft Ales (Malden, MA)
Style: Lager
ABV: 5.0%
Description: Intentionally brewed to channel the subdued, easy drinking experience of a macro lager, this beer was intended to be enjoyed with “sunny days and outdoor adventures.”
Appearance: It poured to a clear, bubbly pale yellow body.
Smell: Subtle hints of pale malt and sweetness, but not a whole lot to report in this department.
Taste: Crisp and clean with mild tastes of pale malt and yeast stop a subtle sweetness.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied and bubbly.
Hype: None really, but it was nice to have a fresh, easy drinking beverage on hand.
Overall: Immensely satisfying and exactly as advertised. Definitely a welcomed addition to the fridge this past holiday weekend.
Beer Rants and Books 
Most German breweries haven’t tapped into the nose aspect of beer, hence my cursory comments on it. I guess the small ones don’t have the money and the big ones don’t think it’s important. Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless.

I didn’t really mind for this one. It was a pretty laid back brew that didn’t need the massive fruit or dessert aromas of some of my more usual review beers.

I like that Weihenstephaner glass. It’s one of my favorite breweries.

Thanks! I want to say I got it from a sampler box a little while back.
