QUILMES CRISTAL PALE LAGER
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.

(STEENBERGE) TIKKA GOLD PREMIUM LAGER
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.
