Lager

This Lager is another beer from Kona Brewing Co. in Hawaii. This bar is Longboard Island Lager. It is a flagship beer from Kona Brewing Co. This lager is 4.6% ABV. This island lager has Pale(premium 2-row) malts, Mt. Hood, Halletrau, Sterling, and Millennium hops. This beer pours a yellow/gold color with a one-finger white fluffy head. The aroma is crisp sweetness, bread (biscuits), and a light hop note. The flavor is smooth, crisp, sweet, a little hoppy, and a bit of bread. The mouthfeel is light. Then this island lager comes to a nice clean, crisp, smooth sweet finish. The aftertaste is semi-sweet with a nice crispness. This beer is a good beer and one that is widely available. I see it in grocery stores, beer/wine stores, and bars/restaurants. I give Longboard Island Lager a B+. It has a great flavor that isn’t strong or weak. It’s just a good solid beer, nothing stands out, and nothing terrible. This beer is great for a nice hot sunny day at the beach or wherever you enjoy beer. I recommended this one. Please stay safe, always be kind, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Golden Road Cerveza is from Los Angeles, California and is 4,8% ABV. This beer is a Mexican-style lager. From what I found on their website, and is no longer around. In its place is Street Cart (salt & lime cerveza). This beer pours a golden color with a one-finger quick white head. The aroma is crisp with biscuits, & sweetness. The taste is similar, with breaded notes, crispness, and some light sweet notes. The mouthfeel is light. Then it has a refreshing, lite, sweet finish. Then you’ll get an aftertaste of light sweet breaded malt notes. This beer is a pretty standard Mexican-style lager. I would give Golden Road Cerveza a B-. The overall beer is light on flavor that isn’t bad. I would recommend this beer. But it is one that you could drink and forget. Nothing stands out. Please be safe, be kind, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers! 

This beer is the last beer I have from Cerveja Musa. This beer is Eye of the Lager, which weighs in at 4.5% ABV. This beer is a Pale Lager. There are Traditional and Spalter Select hop in this beer. This Pale Lager pours a yellow color with a one-and-a-half finger white head. The aroma is spiced, breaded, and floral. The taste is clean, hoppy, and spiced, and you’ll find some bread notes. This beer’s mouthfeel is light. Then comes a finish of light hops and bread notes. Then you get an aftertaste that is even lighter on the hop flavor with a hint of spiced bread. This beer was better than I was expecting. But it didn’t really wow me. I give Eye of the Lager a B-. I found this one from Musa to be better than the previous beers I’ve had from them. The 4.6% ABV helped this beer, and it didn’t have as mild flavors, but they weren’t as bold and flavorful as some lagers I’ve had. I recommend Eye of the Lager if you find it here in the States. I don’t think it comes to the US. Please be kind, stay safe, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

This beer is named after the town in which it was brewed. Nebo Pilsner comes in a 5.2% ABV. This beer is from Fonta Flora Brewery. This Pilsner is fermented cool, conditioned cold, and lagered for no less than eight weeks. This beer pours a golden yellow color with a two-finger fizzy white head. The aroma is sweet, crisp, and with a bread flavor. The flavor, however, is a different story. It’s crisp with sweetness, then peppery for some reason, which is uncommon for a pilsner. It is black pepper. Then this beer finishes with a creamy black pepper note. Then you get a lighter-pepped aftertaste. This beer wasn’t good, and I’ve never tasted a pilsner like that (peppery). I give Nebo Pilsner an F+. I don’t know if it’s terrible or, if I got a bad batch or something. This beer is not one I recommend at all. The pepper notes make it nearly unable to be finished. This is the first Fonta Flora beer that I have not liked. All the rest are good so far. Please be kind, stay safe, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

This lager beer is Oskar’s Lager from Oskar Blues Brewery. It is 4.2% ABV. This lager beer has 95 calories and 2.5 grams of carbohydrates. That may seem like a “lite” beer, and that is correct. But as you can probably see, it does not say lite or light on the can. So why is that? That is because “light or lite” beer is usually associated with big macro beer breweries,\ and that would turn off a craft beer drinker, and they probably won’t buy it. This lager pours a light gold color with a one-finger white head that fizzy away rather quickly. The aroma is sweet and bitter, and there is some fruit. The taste is crisp with light sweet notes, there are better notes and fruitiness, and it goes down clean. This lager is a crushable beer, and it is easy to drink. The mouthfeel is very light. Then this beer finishes clean with bitterness and a dry-ish note. The aftertaste is bittersweet and doesn’t linger for a second. This lager doesn’t taste like a low-cal/carb beer at all. I give Oskar’s Lager a B+. The flavor is good but not sharp or flavorful enough to make this a percent larger. I still really enjoy it, and I highly recommend this, even if you are looking for a low-calorie beer. It’s good! Please be kind, stay safe and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
