KONA LONGBOARD ISLAND LAGER
Red Hook-brewed Hawaiian-styled pale lager may lack depth (and taste somewhat different from original version), but dry-bodied toasted bread frontage and multi-grained pumpernickel-rye respite will please whole-wheat bread eaters. Zesty citric esters and sour green raisin wisp bring meager fruited swirl.
(SHMALTZ) CONEY ISLAND HUMAN BLOCKHEAD LAGER
Eye-catching circus freak-labeled series continues with complex 10% alcohol-fueled German-styled doppelbock posing as a strong lager. Sugary ginger sweetness invades red cherry, golden raisin, purple grape, and apricot fruitiness as well as buttery molasses-chocolate malting. Peppery hop fizz simmers tertiary gin-soaked barleywine, Chardonnay, and rum boozing and slight metallic twang. Like the finest non-flavored vodka, this full-bodied lager elevates its supplemental ingredients.
AMARCORD PRIMA DONNA INDIAN LAGER
Respected Italian film director, Frederico Fellini, deserves better than lackluster blonde lager tributary. Initial cabbage-like vegetal waft of palest yellow pearly-headed lightweight bodes badly. Moldy sourdough breading debunks timid lemongrass midst, bruised orange taint, and olfactory hay-barnyard astringency. Lamely watery, soapy suds.
BERNARD LAGER
Unpasteurized amber yellowed lager with hazy yeast clouding sustains dank grain-husked musk and astringent alcohol-burnt nature. Caramelized malt liquor frontage seeps through dry barleycorn sustenance and salted lemon souring. Sweet floral silkiness contrasts oncoming earthen hop bitterness and roasted pecan-walnut tinge.

HARP LAGER
Named after the Celtic harp, fine gold-toned pale lager retains barley-backed baked bread brim framing buttery malt sustenance, muted grassy hop fizz, and minimal fruit spicing maintained to smooth creamy finish. Crisp, clean, and oh so subtle. Rates higher on tap. Lesser Canadian version from “genuine Irish recipe” rates lower due to unwanted diacetyl pungency and cruder crystal malting.
