Ahhh...the lager. This is the staple of Brooklyn's beers. The brew that started it all and is always the excellent fall-back if the more specialty brews aren't able to be acquired. I'm expecting excellent mediocrity - one of my better phrases.
This beer pours an excellent golden color with that classic lager look of a full white head and decent lacing. The smell didn't disappoint either with a nice, full hop scent with touches of barley. Basically, the standard-issue beer scent. The Lager had a tiny taste of fruit in it with hearty hops and barley. But, aside from this, it was quite basic. The texture was very smooth with a slight carbonation. But, otherwise, there wasn't much going on.
Overall, this is exactly as I expected it to be. I enjoyed it as a buffer beer at the brewery and it served its purpose well. It's great, but not the best you'll ever have. But, it's an extremely solid backbone. Don't ever pass this beer up if it's offered to you.
