Lager Noob Questions

[mresa641]

So I made my first lager (started about 2 months ago) and kegged it yesterday. I pulled a taster to see just how it turned it and well...it seems a little bland. Its a preprohibition style so the hops additions were pretty heavy. It has the bitterness but flavor just doesnt seem to be coming through. I know lagering is a long process and benefits the beer but what should I expect from the lagering? More hop character, malt character...? Its clear, extremely crisp and clean tasting but the flavor just seems to lack. See below for hop additions.

Still young for my tastes (I prefer 3-4 months from start to drink, the last 2 1/2 to 3 in the keg at 33*) Hop profiles fade over time.

Seems like plenty of hops to me... what kind of malt profile did you use? What temp was it served at?

If you're looking for flavorful lager, corn is not going to be a positive player.

Yep, corn will thin out the malt flavor/feel profile and lead to dry crisp and lite. I prefer to use no adjuncts in my Lagers
