So I was walking through my favorite liquor store the other day when I stumbled upon a beer I hadn't seen before. It was called Baron's and featured the red baron for a logo. My interest piped, I picked up a six pack of the Lager and went home to enjoy it. Much to my surprise it was a tasty little beer and they claim to be an Australian microbrewery (how a microbrewery can have international distribution I’ll leave up to you to figure out). Well, ever since Australia gave us Crocodile Dundee, I've been a bit hesitant to say they produce anything good (Steve Irwin excluded of course) but this was one fine Lager. It poured a lightly foggy yellowish-tangerine color with nice head retention. It was a nice looking beer. The head was a good inch thick or so and stuck around for most of the beer. The initial smells were of grain, honey, and grass with just a hint of ester. Afraid that the taste couldn’t live up to the look of the beer, I took my first hesitant sip. I guess Australia can make up for late career Mel Gibson after all. This was a tasty beer. The first taste was of a mildly sweet maltiness. There's a hint of grass and lemon to it. Not overwhelmingly sweet but just right. The finish has a nice bitter citrus crisp to it that compliments the lemony sweetness perfectly. Not really what I would call a typical lager, but it's got such a refreshing taste to it, you can't help but want some more of it. Now if something could just be done about Fosters…
