Number Two

The title does not reflect the quality of the second beer from the home brew mentioned previously. I popped open the Thermal Balance Blond today. This is the lager we added a bit of lemon flavor to during bottling. This variety was the one I felt I was not going to have much interest in. During our tasting while bottling it turned out that I really liked this one.


It held a a great head which disappeared pretty much as soon as my 'stache touched it. It's a pretty golden color. Again these weren't filtered so it's a bit cloudy, but you can see the increased clarity at the top. If this bottle had been allowed to settle a bit more than I was willing to wait it would probably have been quite a bit clearer.


Definitely not a strong hoppy flavor. Very mild. You can taste the grains late. The only thing I would do different is to use even less lemon than they told us to use. They said to use 1 drop of the extract and I know I wasn't always accurate with that single drop.


Cheers!
