Handwritten notes: I tasted this immediately following the Tankhouse Ale and the similarities are striking, despite the fact that one is an Ale, and one is a lager. It makes me wonder if there is some ideal flavour they are all copying. They both taste like Sam Adams, come to think of it. This has flavour to the tits... smells American... very malty... there is something artificial about it, but that is not to detract from its goodness. This has been classified as a "dark lager" by me. The taste is that of a dark lager, though it may not appear to classically fit into the mould. But I call the shots 'round here, dickwad, so fall in line or hit the bricks. Let's keep the Lagers in Brooklyn!
