Healthy-headed New Orleans-styled pilsner remains bland. Not competitive with serious ‘amber’ beers or ales since cheap skunk-y bitterness, oxidized metallic flow, and buttered popcorn finish hurt distinction.

Lame, watery, solvent-like straw-hued macrobrew lacks grain character and gets tinny by musty faux-citrus finish. Pedestrian third-rate cheapster. Will no doubt find cans of this astringent waste at underage parties.

Ultra smooth dry brew with strong alcohol presence, ill-defined grain-malted sweetness, and indistinct finish. Naturally, there’s some punch, but Canucks drink better ales than this insipid trendy refuge.

Run of the mill light lager forges lemony dryness atop peppery hops and smoky nuance ruined by slick cloy finish and despicable metallic/chemical aftertaste. Doubtlessly better in tapped version.

Adequate green-bottled, amber-hued, eggshell-headed, salty bitter receives generous barleymalt sweetening. Briny alcohol-burnt maize-hay finish settles to humble cracked wheat aftertaste for fine session beer.

Dry hickory wood overture cloaks citric green hop bittering of light-bodied pleasantry. Pineapple, mango, strawberry, and kiwi illusions lay low as wood-soaked grapefruit rind souring expands.

Muted cereal-grained crystal malt opening of soapy bronze trepidation pungently embittered by caustic citric dash. Musk-y sourdough finish picks up peppery hop fizz.

Best alcohol-free bid comes from this creamy-headed ice tea-hued Swiss. Rye bread nose expands barley-wheat roast and washed-out caramel snip to dry finish as crystal rainwater flow saunters.

Yuppie grocery chain brews clear golden bottom-fermenting lager from biscuit-y lager yeast. Sweet corn-Scotch pleasantry gains sugary cereal grain malting enlivened by salty hop bottom and perfect for mainstream crew. Inconsequential yet appeasing. Picture of similar Vienna lager to left.

Pungent barley-oats aroma seems too brash compared to pale yellow hue and flowery hop fizz, though dense sugared wheat thicket and spicy white grape finish offer wine-like White Ale or French Beer essence. Carbonation softly dissipates on tongue, flattening quickly.

Unique German lager packaged in bomber canteen pours light despite creamy density. Soft hop tingle and corn-sweetened malt liquor finish fade abruptly. Could use more character and body for $5 a can.

Malted barley sweetness, smoked hop bittering, and wispy lemony snicker consume front end of unassuming lightweight. Bread-y yeast nuance underscores neutral finish.
