2SP Brewing Company
Tonight I am trying a local brew in Pennsylvania. The brewery I am trying a beer from tonight is called 2SP Brewing Company. 2SP is located in Aston, Pennsylvania. Aston, PA is part of Delaware County in Pennsylvania. To the people that live in Delaware County, sometimes it is referred to as Delco. 2SP Brewing Company's mission is to bring world-class beers from world-class brewers to this region. "We know as well as you, when it comes to beer and hype: Believe Nothing. Try Everything." This mindset is what drives me to try as many beers as possible. Sometimes you cannot just take someone's word for how good a beer is. Trying it for yourself allows you to figure out what styles and brewing companies you enjoy.
Delco Lager by 2SP
2SP paid homage to their location by naming one of their beers after their county. The brew I am trying from 2SP is called DELCO Lager. It is an amber lager. Delco Lager has an alcohol by volume or ABV of four percent. It is a year round brew by 2SP.
Appearance of Delco Lager.
Delco Lager has a pale reddish amber hue to its appearance. The foam or head of the lager is white and quickly dissipates leaving, a thin ring around the outside of the glass. The aroma of the beer is typical for this style. There is a caramel note in the aroma, which is paired with the malt sweetness note. You notice a biscuit aroma note next, which is followed by a subtle hop aroma. The hop note is subtle and noticeable as the final aroma note.
Taste wise I am curious to see, because on the beers description they mention Delco Wudder. Which for those that do not know Philadelphia accents, it's water. I took my first sip of Delco Lager and I noticed how crisp and smooth the beer was. There is a subtle caramel sweetness to the beer. The biscuit note followed the sweetness. I am astonished at how smoothly this beer goes down. There is little to no hop note in the taste of the beer, which for a lager that is what you are expecting. This beer is one that you can enjoy all day and something I would drink over Yuengling any day of the week. This taste is malt forward, which again for the lager style you expect the malt to be noticeable. It is balanced and something I look forward to trying on tap someday.
Lookout for DELCO Lager
I thought this was a good lager and something I would get more of. The smoothness of this beer and the low ABV makes this a perfect day drinking beer.
