Atwater's Lager

This canned lager is from the Atwater Brewery of Detroit, Michigan (although the can says Latrobe, Pennsylvania, indicating a contract brew by City Brewing). The can states the obvious, "Beer is Good," and the amusing, "We drink all we can and then sell the rest." I really like the retro simplicity of the beer label design.

The beer pours honey golden with a touch of haze. There is a tall white head that disappears fairly quickly. It is highly carbonated. The aroma is slightly sweet, light grain and a touch of fruit. The taste is light malted grain, touch of honey sweetness, with a lightly bitter, grassy finish. It is well and refreshingly carbonated. Not the greatest lager, but I would take it over Bud, Miller or Coors any day.
