Weeping Radish Corolla Gold


As a tonic for the fake Carolina beer I just suffered through, Carolina Blonde, we have a real North Carolina beer. Weeping Radish is the original Outer Banks micro-brewery, making German style beers and foods. Corolla Gold, named after the Northernmost town on the banks, is a classic German style lager. Corolla Gold pours out a slightly cloudy pale straw. It is really lively on the nose, with caramel sweetness and an apple bitterness, very nice. Let's put this to the lips, shall we. And yes, that at least begins to heal the wounds left by that Carolina Blonde. This a really smooth, flavorful lager with a mild hop note riding over top of the nice caramel apple and star fruit flavors. This is just a very solid, lovingly craft brewed beer. I have to say it's much dryer than I expected, and also has nice medium body. just a real nice classic lager. Feel free to get some and gleefully consume it.
