CAPITAL SUPPER CLUB LAGER

Truly middle-of-the-road canned pale body merges sour Kolsch fruiting with toasted lager crisping. Tart orange oiling, parched lemondrop-candied pucker and dry cherrywood reminder waver through sedate grassy-hopped prickle as well as distant corn-sugared Vienna malting. Musky sourdough breading envelops honeyed biscuit wheat spine. Tertiary banana, apple and grape illusions need ripening.

SUSQUEHANNA GOLDENCOLD LAGER

On tap at Pocono’s Log Cabin Bar, approachable German-styled session beer brings orange-nipped lemon spritz to grassy Hallertau-hopped bittering. Buttery crystal malt base softly underlines citric crispness. In the bottle, thin pilsner-malted German-styled pale lager lacks pizzazz. Astringent raw-honeyed sinew and phenol hop bittering pick up rancid buttery notion. Slurry citric-quince waver buried beneath unfulfilled flavor profile.

 

SARANAC ADIRONDACK LAGER

Slick middle-of-the-road German-styled pale lager seemingly retains English Special Bitter or ‘pub’ ale attributes such as caramelized rye-breaded malting, cellar-like fungi waft and mild woody hop bittering. Withered floral-spiced orange-apricot-grapefruit snip and insufficient pastry-caked spicing (nutmeg-coriander) never approach surface of short-headed amber-hued moderation.

BECK’S ORIGINAL-BRAUEREIABZUG

Very little is known about obsolete whiskey-wafted Caribbean Island-acquired German brew. Aged seven years in clear-toned red-labeled 12-ounce bottle, uncommon Bavarian pilsner-lager transcends typical stylistic boundaries a bit with its vintage Scotch Ale twist and sneaky alcohol whir. Mild and rounded vermouth-dried Chardonnay buttering lingers softly to caramelized fig-sugared apple-candied apricot-nectar whim. Try in lieu of dessert wine, if you can find ‘em anywhere.
