Lager Thursday/Friday

Audrey and I are watching the movie Zodiac (about the California serial killer) as temps. hover in the single digits with snow still on the ground. I will evaluate 2 domestic lagers now:
1)Labatt Blue: Color-Clear golden Nose-Fresh First taste-Refreshing; fades Observations-Pleasant Fizziness-Rim head; bubbles Where Brewed? Toronto, Ontario, Canada Cost-$1.00 Style-Pilsner Saying-Imported Daily from Canada Aftertaste-Overall smoothness Rating-7.25
2)Smuttynose Portsmouth: Color-Cloudy amber Nose-Malty First taste-Strong; hard taste Observations-Goes back throat Fizziness-Mild head; few bubbles Where brewed? Portsmouth, NH Cost-$.84 (food co-op) Style-Lager Saying-Fancy buoys on bottle Aftertaste-Harsh Rating-7
Final Thought-Very representative beers in the lager category!!!
