Name: Corolla Gold
Brewer: Weeping Radish Bavarian Restaurant (Manteo, NC)
Classification: Munich Helles Lager
Alcohol: 5%
Thoughts: I grew up going to the Outer Banks every summer with my family. We loved to go to Weeping Radish and eat, but I was never old enough to drink any of the beer. Well, I finally have the opportunity to try it. The first one up is Corolla Gold, their Munich Helles Lager. It pours a straw colored gold with ample head and little carbonation. It smells like your basic lager, but has a touch more grain or malt in addition to grassy notes. It smells good, but nothing more than average. The flavor leaves a bit to be desired, but consists of citrus zest, grainy malt, and a touch of sweetness. But as it warms the carbonation almost seems to detract from the flavor. It lacks some of the flavor character and crisp mouthfeel that some of its counterparts possess, however it does start off very nice and is worth a sample.
