Distant pungent malt liquor scent nearly clashes with initial dry hop fizz and sweet barley thrust of soft-headed amber. Sugary sweetness borders on cloy and sour yeast backdrop can’t save premature finish. Better in the ’70s.

Pungent aroma dispelled by timid bread-like mouthfeel, soft wheat-rice backbone, salt water flow, and gentle cobweb lace. Smoky hints and hay-like finish casually infiltrate grain balm.

Sedate cereal-grained maize-floured moderate body layers peppy hop fizz over glutinous wheat sweetness as light skunk waft persists. Narrow pilsner-like template gets watery and washed-out so drink ’em from smaller 8-ounce bottles.

Once mainstream blue collar fodder sold at Mets baseball games, this traditional dry lager lives on in its better updated version boasting brighter orange-yellow body and minor turbidity. Pleasant fruited hop aroma and toasted barley-wheat backbone add new dimension to prominent sour malt frontage (which remains similar to original recipe). But sharp bitterness is gone by short-changed aftertaste.

Complacently phenol light-bodied lager conjures comparisons to limpid South of the Border macrobrews such as Corona. Understated roasted barley hesitance, dry hop-fizz, and dour sourdough thinness appease illusive pumpkin-spiced dusting.

Drab aluminum-yellowed pale lager lets cloy rice-sugared sourdough buttering, thin mineral-grained spice hop zip and ginger-leafed maize husk get lost amongst musty corn-oiled backdrop. Musky dry-smoked beechwood soaping, bland cotton-candied nuance and pale-malted cardboard plainness depleted by ruinous chemical solvency and briny lemon-salted bittering of horrid Latino, further complicating matters.

Puffy beige-headed wood chip-burnt blonde lager proffers buttery caramel creaminess. Leafy hop bitterness, subtle malt vacillation, and sweet yeast amble provide even-handed complement not far removed from honey-soaked India Pale Ales.

Sweet whiskey malt-wafted Greek pale body secures moldy orange souring and alcoholic cognac tinge for dry wheat-backed flack. Vanilla creaminess and light spicing lost amongst mild acidity.

Way too cloy and harsh with rugged corn sugar flow not unlike stank-y American malt liquors. Fizzy caramel-hop tease and heady 8% alcohol strength are only saving grace.

Tepid amber-clouded mocha-scented lager with unassuming hop fizz fades gently to mild pale malt finish.

Simple, easygoing straw-cleared lager maintains stalwart gluten wheat stickiness, fresh-cut barley earthiness, and bread-y yeast continuation. Corn syrupy finish picks up dry rye enhancement.

Pale-toned medium body with charred wood palate enhancing remarkably expansive honeyed Scotch likeness. Extremely dry rye backbone and lessened lime-hopped briskness further assure bitter alcohol-stricken finish. Single malt whiskey snobs may sing its praises but less adventurous lagerheads will be put off.
