Apparently Bacardi (the rum co.) brought this Cuban recipe (pronounced ah-tway) to America for the masses. Orange-yellow hue, caramel-malt aroma, and creamy up-front sweetness settle into syrupy 5.5% alcohol fueled dud. Much too processed for serious consumption, but in line with sweet barley-based Caribbean’s such as Red Stripe and Carib Pilsner.

Translucent ivory-yellowed ‘premium pilsner’ brings tart lemon spritz, unleavened bread musk, and grassy hop pitch to spotty dry maize finish redolent of Corona with lime slice. Just a hair less inspired than Kaiser’s mediocre A Marca Bavaria.

Ephemeral bomber-bottled Canadian lager stays smooth and watery beneath its hop-topped barley-roasted essence. A hint of agave puts it South of the Border until sticky caramel malts overtake pallid finish.

In a sea of mass produced Molson beer and ale styles, this bland Seltzer-fizzed pale lager is truly indistinguishable. Murky hop musk, toned down grain pungency and scant perfumed citrus slurp lead to soapy corn sugar finish (with honeyed biscuit bottom). Gets metallic as bottle drains.

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.

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.

Fizzy minute-headed whitish-bodied pale-hazed Salvadorian with dank mineral grain entry fronting buttery cereal malt sweetness and mild lemony bittering. Nutmeg detected amongst soft water silkiness but tepid doughy finish dissolves up-front essence.

Mildly turbid pale lager with clean water foreground countering dirty grain undertow. Sparkly hop-spiced bitterness and lemon-limed sourness can’t save soapy finish from mediocrity, but easy drinking crispness beats indistinct tendencies.

Effervescent light-bodied pale-toned lager with airy carbolic fizz, crisp cereal graining, and delicate citric sweetness needs better distinction and firmer finish. Brewery defunct: 2008.

Tangy orange peel bitterness and tart citrus mouthfeel are somewhat unusual for lager. Wine-y sourness abounds, but ultimately too many undefined adjuncts end up indistinct. Brewery defunct: 2001.

Wavering rye-breaded honey wheat entry juxtaposes mild grapefruit-peeled mandarin orange bittering. Retains sharp hop bite and rich mineral grain finish lesser Carib pilsner lagers lack.

Silky pearl-headed amber-yellowed lager permeates formative chaff wheat earthiness with grassy dry-hopped perk, herbaceous floral accents, and lemony zing. Cereal-barley-corn sweetness gets sour towards diacetyl finish, becoming overly cloying if warmed.
