Strangely, (sometimes) brewed by Moosehead instead of Molson, this 5% alcohol lager has dank malt aroma, pervasive barley sweetness, and thin hop ripples, but lacks crisp, clean water texture prevalent in other Molson brews.

Sympathetic dry-fizzed dull-hopped bitterness and mild Scotch malt tangent hide creamed wheat influence for yeast-licked cardboard-like grain musk on par with Michelob, perhaps.

Sole native Haitian beer comes in pudgy brown bottle and tastes no worse than Jamaica’s Red Stripe. Palest straw hue, billowy pearl head, and sweet corn aroma introduce medium-bodied mediocrity. Sour malting picks up maize tinge usurped by sharp lemony grapefruit hop bittering.

Named after local Andes penguins, roughhewn pale-toned Chilean fades hop-grained corn malted astringency into barest wood burnt intonation, retaining no head or body to sulfuric finish.

9.1-ounce bottle of light, simple African beer. Pronounced malted grain sweetness enhanced by brusque hop sharpness. Lean barley roast and shades of fruit found at watery finish.

Doughy hop-fizzed beer from behind (what’s left of) the Iron Curtain. While visiting China, Tsingtao had more noticeable grain frame and gentler water flow. Sweet rice snip furrows into delicate yeast sinew. Floral hop spices caress crisp, easygoing finish. Try it with a lime.

Swell maple-malt aroma initiates complex Euro-styled premium. Up-front bitter grains enjoin dark cherry tartness and syrup-y maple sweetness for excellent well rounded brew reminiscent of Sierra Nevada ales.

Toasted hops and moderate barleymalts combine for lager-like appeal. Orange rind and nectar add dimension to lingered bitter-grained finish. A reliable session beer.

Astringent grain bitterness, beleaguered hop dryness, and delicate salted butter flow provide initial sharpness countering soft water texture to sweetish rice finish. Easy drinking fodder lacks distinction.

Unctuous sugar malt sweetness ruins front-loaded corn syrupy pale-honeyed creaminess as corresponding Scotch swerve and cocoa smidgen soften mild alcohol-stricken finish. Lack of cereal grain depth by third passing ultimately hurts chances. Also known as Pernstejn Lager.

4.9% alcohol edition gets sharper hop vibe, deeper malted grain thrust, and better glutinous wheat profile than Black Label version. Brisk water flow and slight orange influence enhance crisp finish.

Generic billowy pearl-headed pale-toned lager maintains easy washed-out appeal. Biscuit-y malt sweetness lags behind fizzy sourdough blandness, lemony snicker, and dry maize finish, bettering insignificant American macrobrews by a strand.
