Re: New Tallgrass beer...
Was in Manhattan over the holiday weekend and did try that very beer at Auntie Mae's Parlor. It's got a full mouthfeel, very creamy almost-not-quite chewy; good after-flavors, too; good all-around lager. Like Theresa just said, I just don't know about "crisp" - but it's definitely worth a try. I'm guessing it's intended to be a kolsch style, based on the name - seems a bit heavy for one, but there's a wide range and they aren't all like Frueh.

Any sulfur or diacetyl notes?

Lupulin Threshold Shift
lupulin threshold shift \lu·pu·lin thresh·old shift\ n
1. When a once extraordinarily hoppy beer now seems pedestrian.
2. The phenomenon a person has when craving more bitterness in beer.
3. The long-term exposure to extremely hoppy beers; if excessive or prolonged, a habitual dependence on hops will occur.
4. When a "Double IPA" just is not enough

Re: New Tallgrass beer...
Sorry to say I just had a small one, and it was pretty "Köld" - also in a chilled glass.
