Coney Island Lager

Where is it Brewed?:

New York, NY

Style:

Bohemian-Style Pilsener

I found Coney Island Lager on tap at Superfine in DUMBO and ordered it primarily for the novelty and so I could review it here at the Beer Observer. The label - tap art, in my case - is straight off the boardwalk. A sort of Ed Roth meets garbage pail kids depiction of a carny. I don't think I would have identified this beer as a lager. It was fairly hoppy and had a slight fruitiness.

Magic Hat Lucky Kat IPA

Where is it Brewed?:

Burlington, VT

Style:

India Pale Ale

My ongoing IPA quest continues. This week its Magic Hat Lucky Kat IPA. I must admit to mixed experiences with Magic Hat's brews - they are hit or miss for me, although #9 is a good outdoor summer beer.

With some surprise, Lucky Kat may rank as my favorite of the Magic Hat elixirs. Its a little darker than most IPA's, some Munich and Crystal malt is in there to give it a deeper copper color than you see with most IPAs. The result is a thick, fluffy head when poured with nice lacing on the glass and very little haze.
