Founding Father's Lager Beer Review #beer #lager #beerreview

Today I am reviewing Founding Fathers Lager Beer.  It is brewed in Long Lake, Minnesota with an unlisted ABV.  I got this beer actually because it said on the bottle “50% of all profits of Founding Fathers products are donated to the families of the United States Military.”  Therefore, ‘Merica and support the troops! Enjoy the review!

Appearance- This brew has a nice amber brown color with about a 1 finger off white head that lasts a little while actually.  There is high carbonation and is totally transparent.  The more I look at it the more reddish brown it becomes it looks like a nice lager.

Smell- Wow off the front of the nose, huge roasted malt hits me.  After looking into it further, there is definitely a graininess present with a crisp finish.  I don’t smell a lot out of this beer it is just consumed by the roasted malt.

Taste- Lots of roasted malt and barley especially on the back of the tongue.  There is a biscuity and bready finish to this lager and not so much a grassiness.  The roasted malt really isn’t balanced too well though, there is only sweetness without much of a hoppy finish.

Mouthfeel- The color is deceiving.  It is incredibly light in the mouth and going down.  This beer is highly sessionable with such a low ABV and really does not fill you up whatsoever.  I get very little coating on the teeth.


Overall, it is an okay beer.  I do not really enjoy it a lot, but it is definitely better than some lagers (duh).  But really I would never buy it again except for the fact that it helps families in need.  I would recommend this as a tailgating beer for buddies who really don’t like craft beer but want something else as a change.  CHEERS!
