Well, I was shopping for brie and a nice olive tapenade today when I stumbled across this D'Agostino Select Lager Beer and just had to give it a shot. In fairness, this is by the same brewery that gives us the AWESOME Stegmaier Porter, so how bad can it be. To Lion's credit, this beer isn't overly fizzy and isn't even all that dry. While it's no Czechvar when it comes to flavor and the use of Saaz hops, it's nonetheless respectable and drinkable. In short, you could sure do a LOT worse. Tastewise, there really isn't much to say except it has no discernible hops and smells slightly funky (just a bit).

Run of the mill lager - nothing offensive. Pale in appearance, wet paper bag aroma. Sours near the end. Overall, drinkable - but nothing to write home about.

I bought this because I figured I'd never see it again. It started out with an OK aroma, since it was the first beer of the day, but it ended up pretty lame. Generic label, generic gold lager. Fairly dry, fizzy and a tad on the watery side. Moderately bitter finish. Nothing offensive, nothing stellar.
