Brooklyn Lager, Local 7 West Coast Lager

Post by GtownRandy »

these came yesterday in my lcbo online order, they were 2 that i've never even seen in a store.

the brooklyn lager (ratebeer 83 overall/ 99 style) i think is about as good as a lager can be, smooth and creamy, easy drinking with no unpleasant tastes, just enjoyed the heck out of it. (compared to Sawdust city little norway, which i had high hopes for, but didnt like the taste, which i guess was the saaz hops?). one of the top lcbo lager values i would say.

the local 7 west coast session lager (ratebeer 65 overall/ 100 style) was also very enjoyable. could smell the hops as soon as i opened the can, and it had an ipa like hoppiness but not as intense, kind of like a hybrid lager/ipa. also very easy to drink.

I'll agree with you, Brooklyn lager is by far one of the tastier lagers I've had. Distribution around these parts is very scarce so don't have it as much as I'd like. Little Norway is shit, as far as I'm concerned. One of the worst beers I've had in a long time

I tried Little Norway last week from TBS. It's got that annoyingly grainy macro lager taste.
