I think a batch of bottles must have been bad. I also had a bad experience with this beer with lots of earth and cardboard. What Danne described is basically what I got. I have bought a second bottle to give it a another try.

I resent all that’s written above. Dugges Spring beer is magical. My spring beer wasn’t at all cloudy and tasted like a lager should taste.. in a perfect world. It was full of hops and had a faboulus fresh taste. Dugges Always steps up to the plate delivering High quality ale and Lager.

A lager is what the brewer makes it!

I’m having one right now and thought I’d check it out on the web. I too though I must have had a bad bottle, but apparently not so. I too think this is a pretty terrible beer. Oh, and why do Bolaget carry *this* beer? Really?

First, it’s really cloudy and overall more a Pale Ale than a lager. Too much caramel malt and too little lagering. It’s also pretty yeasty and has a somewhat nasty smell.

Second, as noted in some other comments here, the rather obvious cardboard note is a typical sign your beer process hasn’t been what you would want it to be. Yet, I’m not quite sure it’s oxidation or if that’s a result of the bittering hops (?) Cardboard it is, anyhow.

Third, finishing hops, anyone?

All in all, a pretty awful beer. Most first-time home brewers will make a better beer.

I’m not that impressed either, but the fact that it might have been oxidized might have to do with the problems that they had during a period not to long ago. Working in the detergent business I should perhaps give them some tips…

I am still wondering if there was something wrong with mine.. I didn’t taste any hops at all

My thought exactly

I am still wondering how the guys at the brewery could be satisfied with the result….

Drank the same beer yesterday and i got little better imprecision of it, but you’re right, it was a little dull for Dugges. When I drank it, it felt more like drinking a pale ale or something similar then a lager. So to others, don’t think that you will get a typical lager when you buy it.
Don’t think I will run to SB to buy more of it, but I think it’s a beer well worth testing.
