Coney Island

Shmaltz has been to the fore of my feverish beer brain.

Heading down to the haven of Bunny and Brother B, I picked up a pair of offerings at the Market of Choice. We opened the Coney Island Lager first. I expected a light colored, craft lager. What we discovered was a dark hued brew, an amber hinting at a red, or as Brother B said, "between an IPA and a red." The lager is well carbonated. The eight malts and six hops create a light crisp taste that is the true, yet complex.

It's on my list of favorite summer beers.
