Dynamo Copper Lager

So there is this bar in Chicago in the Avondale neighborhood called Kuma's Corner. I was having an exploratory day and had heard of this bar because of their burgers and their whiskey on tap (yes, on tap). It was hot and I had been walking around a lot. Earlier I had eaten a fine meal from one of my new favorite restaurants, Hot Doug's: The Sausage Superstore (no joke). I was full from the greasefest and thirsty but not parched from the heat. I needed a good brew as a comfort blanket to the hot dog and fries. Nothing too thick but I wanted something with some flavor. When I saw the title of this beer "copper lager" it seemed like an interesting combination so I gave it a go.

Well first off it's a lager but with a solid copper color rather than a bold yellow color. My goodness this was refreshing. It was partially the situation but also just the smooth finish. It was smooth like a lager but I felt that this had a more bold flavor than most lagers. It was very hoppy but it had a nice balance of malts in the aftertaste. There was a very nice hint of spice in the taste that the malty finish cancelled out. It was very interesting because this was a very full-bodied beer but it was not too filling. Usually a beer with a bold taste can be a one and done but this didn't fill me up too much at all. The brew finished great! I refreshed myself with a shot of spicy Buffalo Trace whiskey (on tap) and headed out the door on my way home. All in all a good day of exploration.

Beermigos Rating - The Burger and a Brew Rating: This was a tough call between this rating and an In-Laws beer. I chose this because I know that this beer would go fantastic with a burger. At 5.6% ABV it's not a thumper but it's still plenty. Frankly I've been thinking about this beer since I drank it and if I saw this as a deal with a burger it would be too good to pass up. This flaovor would hold it's own not only against a burger but with a lot of different foods. It complimented my hot dog well. But really this beer could be drunk at anytime, that's how much I loved it.

Stella Artois

The second review from Ireland is a much different beer from the first. This time around the beer is quite a light lager from Belgium that was quite refreshing. After a hard day's work, nothing felt better than to feel the rare Ireland sun beam down on to my body, while laying on tires, drinking this beer, and listening to about four different languages. We currently have some frenchmen, two spaniards, two germans, and two other eugenians!

The beer again was a nice lager, so while not heavy in taste, it was verry refreshing. A nice bite to it, but still very light. Crystal clear in color, almost a European version of our Coors, and Miller but better tasting.

Beermigos rating: Throwback brew. Average amount of alcohol content, 5 %, and very smooth. Almost screams at you to start barbequeing burgers.
