Beer of the Weekend #1,126: Servus!
It’s Wednesday and I am drinking a beer: Servus!, brewed by the Contrary Brewing Company of Muscatine, Iowa.
Serving type: 16-ounce can. No freshness date.
Appearance: Pours a beautiful medium gold into a pilsner glass. Off-white, bubbly, airy head fizzles away fairly quickly.
Smell: Grassy and malty. Simple stuff. Light hay, Cheerios, light earthy hops.
Taste: Light, simple, and tasty. Light malt, a touch of grass, Cheerios, and an earthy bite.
Fun facts about Servus!:
• Style: Bavarian-style lager.
• Price: $14 for a 4-pack of 16-ounce cans at the Contrary taproom in Muscatine. Is it just me or is to-go beer from a brewery taproom more expensive than from a store?
• Alcohol content: 5 percent ABV.
• A nerdy style note: I am using a comma after the exclamation point because the beer’s name is a proper noun. Somewhere in some style guide I read that exclamation points and question marks should not be followed by other punctuation.
The Quiet Man’s grade: C+.
