Brewed with highly fermented yeast, bubble-headed musty-scented pale-toned Asian retains dank grain malting, soft hop fizz, and buttery rice nicety. Barley sweetness smoothed out by dry watery finish. Though undeniably relaxing, experienced drinkers will be left craving for more flavor and body consistency.

POINT LAGER
Classic macrobrewed bottled-canned beer saturated Wisconsin and Illinois market during the Seventies. Brassy barleycorn and lackadaisical dry hops encounter nasty citrus funk before unripe peach fizz halfway redeems it. Tinny cerel-grained cornmeal finish gets slushy. Still betters Coors, Bud, and Miller.

COFFARO ITALIAN STYLE BEER
Originally crafted by an Italian immigrant, soft Scotch-wafted pils is as delicately simplistic as it is light-bodied and pale-toned.

FOSTER’S SPECIAL BITTER LAGER
Better in bigger oilcan than plain bottle. Dour amber-grained hop toasting and slim nuttiness create complacent dry bitterness. Unsettling tinny finish arrives if warmed over. Needs more all around character. On tap, creamier malt sweetness and brisker alcohol-tinged lemon-soured swoon greaten potential.
