Kingfisher Premium Lager
Today's sample is from Kingfisher Brewing Company in Saratoga Springs, New York. This beer is quite similar to the Peroni from a few days ago. The head and color characteristis are almost identical, but the Kingfisher Lager has a little more pronounced hop presence compared to the sweet and malty character of the Peroni. In a side-by-side comparision, I would take the Peroni. The Kingfisher falls a bit too close to Budweiser to suit my taste. There is no special characteristic in this brew that will draw me back for seconds. However, I won't pour this one out. It's still beer! Kingfisher Premium lager rings in at 5.0% ABV and finished with a bit of a hop aftertaste. If your grocer has no other selections, pick up a six-pack of this :)
