Hot & Steamy: 7.5 – It’s a sort of mix between a lager and cream ale with a good spice to it. Its also super easy to throw back and kill.
Price Average: $6 draft

Big Elm Brewing Dark Star Dunkel
Dark Star Dunkel: 6.0 – It doesn’t really have a ‘dark lager’ feel like you’d want with something akin to a schwarzbier, but it’s tasty. It has a sort of light cherry sweetness that works well with the rest of the beer (and isn’t tart)
Price Average: $11 for 4-Pack

Uinta Fest Helles Lager
Uinta Fest Helles Lager: 6.5 – It does manage to capture that unique German flavo/style quite well. It’s an enjoyable beer that does what you want which makes it good. Beyond that though – meh?
Price Average: $6

Omission Brewing Co. Lager
Omission Lager: 6.5 – Honestly from the onset this seems like a basic lager (labeling, and the possible? gluten-free nature) It’s actually rather tasty, and while not complex or mind-blowing it’s really nice to drink. It’s what you want from a good solid lager.
Price Average: $11 for 6-pack

Jack’s Abby Red Tape Amber Lager
Red Tape Amber: 6.0 – it is a bit hoppy (which is nice), but is an overall good, solid, amber lager.
Price Average: $10

Samuel Adams Winter Lager
Samuel Adams Winter Lager: 4.0 – It calls out orange peel, cinnamon, and ginger – and you can sort of get that. Problem is, it doesn’t make it good, or feel very wintery. It feels like someone added that stuff to a vat of Boston Lager, and called it a day.
Price Average: $8 for 6-pack

Wormtown Mangonada Tropical India Pale Lager
Mangonada: 7.0 – The tropical fruit flavoring here is very well done. It ups the game of what could have been an overhopped lager into a delightful beverage that I personally can attest goes well with a good thai curry.
Price Average: $8

Sly Fox Brewing Company Helles Golden Lager
Helles Golden Lager: 6.0 – Pretty good lager, but there’s something off about. Not in a skunked or watered down way, but there’s an aspect that’s hard to define about it.
Price Average: $9 for 6-pack

Kenzinger Pale Lager
Kenzinger: 5.5 – A good pale lager, needs a bit more to the taste though.
Price Average: $4

Soho Park Lager
Soho Park Lager: 3.0 – It’s simply way too light for a lager, and has an unpleasant metallic taste. Looking back it’s highly likely that because this isn’t a typical beer it’s possible to be a watered down concoction stored improperly.
Price Average: $11
