Scored 33 or Very Good in NYC AHA competition at Pale American Beer table. Entered into Style 1B - American Lager.
Summary of first judge:
A very good example overall. No off flavors aromas, but overall too much fruit like aromas/flavors for style. Getting moderate amounts of melon, fruit salad which are masking the malt component. Nice level of sweetness in the taste, so the hop bitterness balance is good. Don't suspect a fermentation issue, but guessing yeast choice may have contributed to the fruity profile. Carbonation is just moderate low, so this would have to be upped to score higher.
Summary of second judge:
Very pleasant and flavorful beer - thank you for sharing! The corn flavor is really lovely and is balanced out really well by the light spiciness from the hops. There is a little bit of fermentation character - a few banana-y esters, so be sure to make sure to watch your fermentation temperature. The biggest issue is carbonation, whcih is a little light. Suggest revising packaging procedures to make sure it is carbonated enough at serving time.
