Year of New Beer: La Tortuga, Mirror Twin Brewing Co (Lexington)

Written By: Dion on 04/11/2020

I've never been a huge fan of lagers, but the Lexington breweries have really stepped it up and put out some really nice ones lately. Today's offering from Mirror Twin absolutely nails it. Nose features toasted cereal grains, bread crust, and a subtle caramel against a light tobacco. Fairly seamless transition to the tongue, with the toasted grains again leading the way, taking on just a touch of lightly charred bread. Very mild earthy hop note succumbs to caramel and roast. This has a full-flavored body but drinks much lighter. Really nice beer, I'll be back for more.
