On the Classic wheel, from Tree House’s own descriptions of this beer.
Our Patient Series continues with one of our favorite crispy classics: Patient House Lager. So Patient, in fact, that it was brewed before Christmas. This gem is made entirely with flaked corn and malt, locally grown and malted by our friends at Thrall Family Malt. It carries notes of delicate grain, sweet corn, and a hint of lemon. Great lager takes time. Unlike our towering fermentors, our lagers rest in horizontal tanks; this seemingly minor change in shape affects the beer in several consequential ways. With less depth relative to surface area, yeast and hop particles settle more efficiently, and they experience less compaction stress as they drop. Furthermore, the cold temperatures required for their conditioning are more easily controlled, creating a uniform environment during their long rests. The result is a lager with strikingly soft character and tight carbonation, with sticky, meringue-like foam. We find beers like this are worth the wait.
