The beers of FUTENMA part 4: Monchshof Fenies hells Lager

Today, we have the Monchshof Lager. the two beers I have had from Monchshof have either been fantastic or not bad, so I have decent expectations from this beer.

This beer spit in my face when opening it, this is why I'm not a huge lager fan, they just have no respect. The beer smells just like you would expect a decent lager to in that it has a mild yeasty bread smell. I'm going to paraphrase Jim Gaffigan to explain what the first two sips tasted like. “Oh, this is more lagery than regular lager... it's got a lager kick to it”. And indeed it does for the first couple of sips. After that you get used to the taste, and then it's just like any other lager. It has the lager carbonated frothyness, it has the lager taste, it has the lager weight. It is what it is and it is a lager. Not that lagers are bad, but they are kind of mundane, aside from them assaulting you when you open them. I guess that's another reason I'm not much of a fan of this style.
