International-Style Pilsener

I've been drinking Brooklyn Pilsner for about a week now and I have got to say, this is what an American Pilsner should taste like. An outstanding beer.

It pours consistently with a thick white foam that is bright and airy, lacing all the way down the glass. The aroma is all German hops - hallertau, perle, saaz, and vanguard - floral and spicy. I'm hard pressed to call the color golden - its more a faint orange. It has a pronounced protein haze, the beer's only flaw.

Coney Island Lager

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.

Beer on Bourbon St

I spent this week in New Orleans at the Do It with Drupal conference and enjoying some of Dixie's outstanding local beers. 

It was my first trip to New Orleans and Bourbon St lived up to expectations (good and bad), but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the local brews too.  Mix in a bourbon sampler trays, lots of oysters, alligator sausage, po' boys and mechanical bull rides - good times all around.
