So I got my hands on a couple growlers of the Lager and Northern 55.
The lager was pretty light but had a nice crispness to it. Very refreshing beer after working outside all day.
The Northern 55 was a malty diacetyl mess.

I'll be heading back home soon so I'm curious to see how the lager stacks up to what I remember the pre-Sharpe Northern Lager was.

It's better IMO, but not the same beer. Be warned if you get a growler the carbonation disappears rather quickly, so finish it off that night. The next day half growler was completely flat.sprague11 wrote:I'll be heading back home soon so I'm curious to see how the lager stacks up to what I remember the pre-Sharpe Northern Lager was.
I'll give full points to the brewery if they resurrect Edelbrau, even if in name only.
