American All-Malt Lager
Cricket Hill Brewing Co.
Overall: B+ / 4

A great pale lager that's relatively full-flavored and well-balanced. The malts are clean and biscuity while the hops are crisp with floral and citrus flavors. The malt is a touch grainy, but not in a bad way. Rather it just adds to the flavor. I found this to be a great pairing with an opening course at dinner or as a stand alone appetizer. Worth trying if you're into lagers.
I'm guessing "East Coast Lager" simply means this is a more balanced beer betweent he hops and malt, while West Coast-style beers are hop-heavy. I might also consider this an American pilsner as the malt flavors tend to fall in with the likes of German and Czech pilsners like Pilsner Urquell.
