Decent gold-labeled straw-hued lager submits musty orange-oiled Scotch malting and cereal-grained cornmeal sweetness to sharp peppery-hopped coarseness. Pastry cake, vanilla wafer, butterscotch and butternut illusions sit back. Simple, straightforward brew for North of the Border lunkheads on salmon fishing trips.

Sharp musty-scented pale-bodied artesian lager retains crisp barley-hopped sweetness, grassy bottom, and watery simplicity, but generic soapy finish lowers rating to half of its Spanish ‘Five Star’ moniker.

Strong golden-hazed bitter gathers Scotch malt insistence, nutty ascension, and buttery texture, despite finishing a bit watery. Slight mocha tinge hidden below stabilized hop salience.

Another lively carbonated citric-soured yeast-stenched Dutch brew. Sweet vanilla creaming juxtaposes supple hop bitterness at midst. Spritzy orange peel detected at earthen nut finish. Too dank and soapy to overtake better local competition.

Sluggish pale-cleared cumulous-headed champagne-fizzed pilsner-like bore with astringent grassy hop bitterness distracting cloy grain sugaring, buttered corn tepidity, and dank maize-husked acridity to metallic finish. Slight agave hint amongst distant cellar musk.

Coarse peppery hop fizz depletes corn sugar sweetness, spicy lemon tinge, and wood burnt singe of vapid pale body. Soapy finish reaches nasty sulfuric heights.

A step down from multi-dimensional Belgian ales, lazy straw-hazed mainstream fodder lacks distinct character to soapy spring-watered finish. Lightweight trash finds sweet-corned pilsner malts going cloy and flaccid lemon-peppered hops getting limp. Closer to dank Eastern European fodder. Accompanies spicy Indian food well.

Metallic straw-hued white-foamed pale lager stuck in cardboard-y quagmire eradicates dirge-y whiskey spell and meager clover-honeyed corn syrup finish as boredom ensues.

Puffy white-headed pale lager with carbolic overload retains pungent malt waft and sour yeast astringency similar to Dutch brews such as Heineken. Soft, buttery, and mildly creamy, but murky hops, washed-out barley, and soapy finish compromise cornmeal sweetness.

Inconsistent viscous yeast particles dot turbid gold setting as candied butterscotch malting, juicy tangerine-apricot tang, and banana nut spell soften dank rice-corn base. Slight alcohol lick and dirty-grained soapiness reminiscent of Eastern Euro lagers.

Supposed German-styled lager corrupts Seltzer-watered lightness with sagging chocolate malt lag. Musty barley-toasted mocha sweetness can’t overcome bland, indistinct finish.
