...because of unpleasantly sharp and metallic aftertastes -- were Manhattan Brewing Co.'s bottled Gold lager and its draught Oktoberfest and Amber beers. In bottles, Anchor's Porter, Liberty Ale and Wheat Beer, Boulder's Porter and Extra Pale Ale lacked authority, as did Minnesota's August Schell's Pilsner and Cold Spring Export "water-made." The best by far was the sophisticated, convincingly German-style Samuel Adams lager, followed by the clear, refreshing Dock Street Amber from Philadelphia and the tangy, cider-like New Amsterdam Amber.

...Pavilion, strolled over to the British exhibit, where he reluctantly turned down a bottle of Scotch after Nina chirped in English, "Oh, no. He does not drink any more." That ban does not apply to suds, however, so when Nikita visited those decadent, bourgeois revisionists, the Czechs, he quaffed Pilsner and instructed his hosts to "give my regards to President Svoboda, with whom I fought...
