Beer of the Week

The beer: Vernal Genesis

The brewery: Nepenthe Brewing Company, Baltimore, Maryland

Description (from Untappd): "This love letter to German malt will keep you warm as we make the transition into Spring. Made from Pilsner, Vienna, and Munich. Hopped for balance with just enough Hallertau Mittelfrüh and lovingly lagered for several weeks. A deep burnished gold with a rich, bready, subtly sweet maltiness and a toasty complexity that gives way to a crisp, easy finish. It’s almost time to emerge from our collective hibernation."

Would I buy it again? This is the first of a trilogy of beers that I drank on location at Nepenthe, and it's a good one. I'm a fan of bocks, and Maibocks are no exception to that rule. It's bready and malty, but still quite easy to drink since it's not as thick or alcoholic as a doppelbock. I would buy this again.
