My amazing brother gave me the gift of beer for my birthday this year. It's a Beer of the Month Club, and today I received my first delivery. Just now I cracked the first beer of the 12pack.

There were four different beers in the box, from 2 breweries. From Lucky Bucket Brewing Co: Lager & IPA. From Michigan Brewing Co: Michigan Nut Brown Ale & Peninsula Porter.

Based on the types of beers included in the shipment it was clear I needed to start with the Lucky Bucket Lager, then the Michigan Nut Brown, then the Lucky Bucket IPA, and then finish up with the Peninsula Porter.

Lucky Bucket Lager Review:
Strong lagery aroma and a nice head. It smells like a sweet Red Stripe and has a slightly darker color. First sip is very smooth with a surprising tartness that I really like. The finish has a bit of mustiness, but not in an unpleasant way. There's a touch of caramel and a bit of sour peach, but it is extremely smooth and very drinkable. Their literature says they were aiming for a session beer and they definitely achieved that. The tartness makes me want to take another sip and the body is present and clear without being cloying or syrupy. Definitely an easy-to-drink beer and the glass is growing increasingly empty as I try to identify all the interesting aspects of this well-crafted and unusual lager.
