I don't usually drink lagers. they tend not to be flavourful enough for me (well macro brands anyway), but I saw BrewDog's 77 Lager on sale on their online shop, £15 for 24 cans so I bought a box, came in two days too!
It's a bit darker than your regular lager with a big rocky head that lasts a fair while. There was something in the smell that one rarely gets in a regular lager, hops! Actual hoppy smell, citrussy, from Moetoka and Amarillo hops, then a nice malty backbone from the pale malt, caramalt and Munich malts that are used in this beer. Not too fizzy either which is something that puts me off lager too. Really nice if you didn't know it was a lager you'd think it was an oddly crisp pale ale. It is also pretty easy drinking, not watery but the 4.7% ABV makes it a nice, easy to drink beer. Also, goes great with pepperoni pizza.
Staying on the BrewDog topic, BrewDog Nottingham opening on the 25th, can't wait!
