MASTER GAO BABY JASMINE TEA LAGER
On tap at Ambulance, delicately crisp, clean moderation utilizes subtle jasmine tea, elusive grape tannins and French breaded lager yeast. Adequate Chinese brown tea alternative.
CORONA PREMIER
Dryer alternative to Corona Extra with fewer calories and lower carbs seems similar to original bland version. Bread-crusted corn malts saddle spritzy lemon lime thrust and mild skunky hop musk.
KEEGAN HUDSON LAGER
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, crisply clean yellow-cleared moderation brings polite bread-like pilsner malting to effervescent lemon zest and musky floral-nipped herbage. Brisk carbolic spritz enlivens simple pleasure.
FLYING FISH ONSHORE LAGER
Crisply clean moderate-bodied lager maintains lightly creamed pastry-like cereal grain sugaring and biscuity pilsner malting to envelop lemony orange-melon briskness while mild grassy hop astringency stays firm. Sessionable summer excellence.
CARTON SIT DOWN SON PALE LAGER
On tap at Poor Henry’s, stellar pale lager retains crisply clean straw-grained minerality and musky floral-hopped lemon zesting above bready pilsner malting. Refreshingly easygoing light body is classic.
WOODEN ROBOT ROBOTICO LAGER
On tap at Buffalo City Jug Shop, loosely Mexican-styled pale lager lets maize-flaked raw honey dryness influence sour lemon twist and mild herbal tease in crisply clean manner. Low grassy hop bitterness contrasts recessive baked bread spine.
VICTORY HOME GROWN AMERICAN LAGER
Elusive clear golden pale lager with modest intentions. Mildly spiced lemondrop spritz tingles cereal grained carapils malting and alkaline astringency. Sedate Mosaic-Cascade-Citra-Chinook hop influence checkmarks unspecific citric-spiced neutrality.
DOUBLE NICKEL LAID-BACK LAGER
Inexpressive blue collar fodder lacks advertised ‘sweet melon’ influence. Unassuming orange-dried lemon bruise and murky vegetal musk gain sour splurge.
KENT FALLS CONNTEXT
On tap at Ambulance, dry-hopped pale lager lets horse-blanketed barnyard rusticity and grassy hop astringency contrast spritzy floral-spiced lemon zest above mild sugared oats base.
SAMUEL ADAMS SAM ’76
OK yellow-blanched pale lager reminiscent, at times, of a cream ale, due to lager-ale yeast combo providing buttery corn-starched cracker dryness to mild grassy hop astringency. Lightly juiced lemony orange tang picks up floral-perfumed alacrity below the grainy surface.
BURIAL BLOODTUSK KELLERBIER
On tap at Ambulance, smooth German-styled kellerbier (a matured cellar-aged pale lager) brings musky grain malting to dryly peppered Saaz hop spicing, picking up mild lemon rot bittering. Easygoing straightforward moderation.
