Lager
American style lagers are traditionally light in colour and body. The flavour in these beers meld together, with no one ingredient dominating the others. Malt sweetness is light to mild, hops are used for bittering, flavour and aroma impart light fruity esters and symmetry is the goal. The winner in this category is a crisp, lightly hopped lager with modern American hops. Daycation from Troubled Monk drinks clean, dry and refreshing, making for an allaround rewarding experience. In these uncertain times it is comforting to be able to find a beer that you can rely on to put a smile on your face and give you the assurance that everything will be alright. John Papavacilopoulos
