The first bottle I saw of Mikkeller's American Dream lager was gluten free. The somewhat more economical regular brew was found and purchased, but it's a shame the label is less interesting than the gluten free version. That one had flags, and bacon, and stuff, and the regular lager has some guy. It's not even Washington, fercrissake.

The scent is subdues until the glass gets filled, then the typical citrus sharpness comes out. It has a clear golden color and a white, fluffy head, pretty much par for the course in terms of pale ales. Oddly enough, this is supposed to be a lager. The taste is a mix of hoppy IPAs and bitter lagers I've had, being bitter enough but also smooth and rounded in flavor. It doesn't leave much aftertaste, disappearing cleanly after swallowing, probably more like lagers in that sense. It's definitely a summer beer, one that would be at home in the ball park or the backyard barbecue. I would say it could work as well as an appetizer as an after-dinner stomach settler. Versatility and beauty...I guess that's somebody's dream. We're a big country.
