Twin Lagers From Saratoga Springs, NY

It's been almost a week since my trio of beer tastings last week. I will begin by dedicating this test to folk singer Dan Fogelberg who is dead (but remembered).
Red Tail Lager: Color-Amber Nose-Pleasant First taste-Good flavor Observations-Full mouth Fizziness-Frothy head; active bubbles Brewing Company-Mendocino Brewing Cost-$1.00 per 12 ozs. Origin-SAME BREWERY Style-Lager Saying-The Legend Grows Ingredients-Barley, malt, yeast, hops, water After taste-On palate Rating-7.25
Saratoga Lager: Color-Amber; orange tint Nose-Slight First taste-Sharp taste Observations-Early blast; then recedes Fizziness-Mild head; mild bubbles Brewing-Olde Saratoga Brewing Cost-$1.00 per 12ozs. Origin-SAME BREWERY Style-Lager Saying-In grand tradition of Marzenbiers of Germany Ingredients-German hops; Munich malt After taste-Some Rating-6.50
FINAL THOUGHT-Red Tail more distinctive; Saratoga average!
