Our Tastes-- Coney Island Lager

The last of the Coney Island beers that we taste is the Lager. It filled the glass with a tarnished copper. In the fluted pilsner glasses the head is flat. The head is what I expect from a beer that you drink a lot of just because you need hydration! It's a complex beer but I think they have over reached their boundaries a bit. Made with specialty 2-row, 2 types of pale ale, Maris Otter, Cara Munich 60L, Red Wheat, Vienna 4L, Light Munich 6L with Flaked barley, hopped with Warrior, Amarillo, Cascade, Tettnanger, Saaz, Hallertauer and dry-hopped with Cascade. At 5.5%abv, it was quenching at best, no mo' money will go their way.
