COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Firestone Lager is an exquisite, full-flavored brew with a bright golden hue and a crisp, refreshing finish. Floral hops and crystal malts forge an elegant balance between delicate aromas, a soft palate and a firm hop character.

Decent beer on tap. Had it on tap at Tony Roma’s across the street from Disneyland. The park is a much more interesting place after a few pints of this. I found myself singing along with the pirates.

Golden with minimal head. Aroma was light malts, dishwasher soap and some floral notes. Had a corny taste and overly sweet.

Poured a slightly hazed golden color with a small off-white head white head. The aroma had a fruity malt character. The flavor had a clean caramel taste. Seemed a little yeasty.

Probably my least favorite of the Walker Brewing family. Not a bad beer but when drank after the IPA or Double barrel it pales in comparison. I haven’t had a lot of different lagers but this was tasted odd, for a lager. A good beer none the less but if your going to get a FWB beer, IPS is the way to go.
