Up until last weekend, I had always believed that Wisconsin is the cheese capitol of the world.  The truth is Niagara Falls is the cheese capitol of the world...as in cheesy. I spent last weekend there, and those Krafty Canadians will promote anything to make a buck, or a Loony as I oft heard.  There were alien museums, Ripley's Believe it or Not muesums, haunted houses (at least 4 that I saw), tributes to criminals, tributes to those that went over the falls.  It's in that spirit that I review this weeks beer.
    I enjoyed a Niagara Spray Lager while watching the tourists watchs the falls.  I had already seen the falls, and found the tourists more interesting.  As it was very hot, the first beer went down very smoothly, and suprisingly quick for a 16 oz. bottle.  I decided I'd take my time on the second one.
    After taking the time to actually taste the beer, I concluded that it was indeed smooth and a little sweet.  It was also suprisingly light for a Canadian beer.  If you've grown up on Miller or Bud, then you would not find this beer too heavy. Also, you might find it a little more flavorful than most American beers, yet it had very little after taste.
    Niagara Spray Lager is not for the connesieur.  It is a good beer to wash down a burger and fries, or enjoy while watching people.  It is not a beer to sit back and enjoy for its own sake.  Pleasant, but not impressive.  If you ever visit Niagara Falls Canada, try one, but don't have dinner in the Skylon.
