Narragansett Lager is old reliable. It was the first beer brewed by “The Original Six” back in 1890, and the best selling beer in New England from the 1930’s to the 1970’s. It has crossed paths with Dr. Seuss, it was famously crushed by Captain Quint in Jaws, and it was the first alcoholic beverage to partner with a professional sports team – the Boston Red Sox from 1944-1975. Drinking a Lager is drinking to New England history. Hi Neighbor! Have a ‘Gansett!

Review from notes, sampled 12/09/2007 I picked up a six pack because someone I was trading with had it on their want list. I probably never would have picked it up otherwise. Kinda glad I did. Pours a golden yellow color with a creamy white head that leaves quickly. The color reminds me of the apple juice my daughter drinks. The beer is sparklingly clear. The smell is malty, apricots, and a little skunky. Taste is light. Mouthfeel is thin crisp and refreshing. Not to bad for a macro. I could drink a few of these and still operate heavy machinery (that’s a joke). Honestly it was better than I had expected.

Latrobe brewed 16 ounce can courtesy of MaltDawg. Thanks! As a ex-Rhode Islander I’m kinda excited to try this. Pours a very pale yellow color with a large fizzy head. Fairly poor head retention and lacing. Pale grainy aroma with a bit of a dusty note. The taste is sweet grainy notes with a grassy finish. Thin bodied.

Can. Pours a light copper with a thin, fizzy head. Aroma of light, sweet malts with hay and grains. Sweet, malty flavor with only hints of hop bite. Pretty crisp finish. Not too bad, really.

Looks like any other common pale lager, sparkling pale yellow in the glass. Clean friendly aroma with some fresh cut grass. Getting some hay on the initial taste, like a Straub lager. Interesting. Fairly smooth and goes down very easy. Finish is oddly ever so mildly pilsner with genial noble hops and light bitterness. Yes, a good example of macro lager. God bubbly carbonation. Decent lager! Thanks Narraggy!

Slight chill haze. Straw body. Aroma of straw, honey and slight fruitiness. Light body. Tastes like straw and moss. Pretty bland, a little bit grainy. Pretty far from scintillating.

12oz bottle. Transparent golden-straw color. Aroma makes me suspicious of adjuncts. Crisp and watery. Half decent at best, this one might have been nice for Rochester circa 1967, but it can’t compete with anything even remotely quality these days. Along the same lines as Yuengling or Rolling Rock.

It pours into the glass with a remarkably faint aroma. There are notes of rice, as in rice crisp cereal, and other vague cereal graininess. There’s also a sharp huskiness to go with that. It starts with a firm presence up front with plenty of carbonation, and seemingly no shortage of malt, except heading towards the end, which dries out and finishes empty. There’s a lingering grainy sugary quality, as well as just a touch of bittering hop. The appearance is crystal clear, residing somewhere between straw and gold, and it manages to produce a full white pitted foamy head.

This was surprisingly smooth for a relatively cheap and hoppy taste. Very smooth and grainy. Defiantely worth drinking. (not metallic from bottles as previous reviewer noted) It is about as cheap as the macro brews and a superior beer in virtually every single way. Definately a good blind buy.

2005 16oz can consumed on 6/30/2005. Straw yellow, clear, fizzy. Urine, if you will. Huge bubbles rapidly shooting to the top indicate this could be a carbonated voyage. Bubbles create a head, but it is only retained because there is so much carbonation that keeps surfacing. No lacing, obviously. Aroma has some peppery substance, could it be hops? Maybe a touch of corn flour, not much in the aroma, overall. Flavor begins with apple juice, bits of powdery sugar. Not as heavily carbonated as I had expected, though it still is not exactly intriguing on the tongue. Moderately watery, but moreso just bland. Really not so bad, otherwise. Some light grass notes, light sugary malt and a clean finish. Quite drinkable if I had to drink it, not that I ever would again.
