Mediocre pale-yellowed lager lacks sufficient grain character and jaunty hop fizz, settling into watery blandness by lackluster lemony hop finish.

CISCO WINTER VINTAGE NANTUCKET LAGER
DRAX LAGER
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.
