Standard Russian pale lager brings corn-sugared pastry malts to honeyed dough spine and fizzy hop phenolics like a cheap pale lager. Its sticky glutenous sweetness skirts being cloy – barely. Still, for caramelized suds, it’s OK.

BRADLEY SI MONSTER LAGER
On tap at Poor Henry’s (2019), sourly tropical Mexican lager’s an acquired taste. Splashy agave-cologned lime peel zesting given mild sea salting over musky hop stead. In the can (2022), aluminum-cleared light body gained slight resolve. Mild sea-salted lime peeled lemon spritz and wispy agave herbage retain frothily creamed malt liquor head. Decent baked bread remnant. Betters Corona.

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.
