Metropolitan Brewery Dynamo Copper Lager

I have the fortune to live mere blocks from the Metropolitan Brewery, which I admit I really haven't taken advantage of, since I've only purchased their products at bars and at Binny's. But, I am proud to say that as one of the city's newest (and only) micro-breweries, they put out one damn fine beer. I've now sampled every Metropolitan beer, as well as all the products from Half Acre (another fine local, new brewery), and Dynamo is my favorite of the lot, so far. I say "so far" because both brewers promise more variety in the months to come. But, this is one I will happily return to again and again. It's light, crisp, and doesn't have any of the off-putting semi-sour, semi-bitter notes that I've encountered in other copper ales. I like this beer so much, that upon learning that the otherwise dismal bar Northside was having a special on Dynamo, I decided to pay it a visit. That's high praise indeed.
