Rogue Brewing Company's Irish Style Lager

Alright, I like Rogue a great deal, but they shouldn't go just making up style names. What the hell is an Irish style anything unless it's red or stout?

Pours like a typical lager of any country. Deeper yellow than most, but the fizzy white head is the same. Carbonation is lower than most. Same bland smell, except a little more malty. Not as adjunct-y.

You know, I wish it had more rice. I like the bitter twang it gives Budweiser. This is a good beer, and it has a heavier body than American lagers, but I expected it to be a little zippier. If the made-up style of Irish Lager is supposed to be slower, flatter, and less zippy than an American, then it's right on type. As un-sexy as American lagers are, this one is even un-sexy-er.
