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. A bit of post-draught research informed me that it is "composed of 8 malts, 6 hops, and Czech pilsner yeast." Lager or not, it was tasty brew and the proceeds help support Coney Island USA and I'll drink to that any day.
