Drab clear-bodied white-headed pale lager settles to fair barleycorn sweetness after frustrating musty yeast nose, moldy malt liquor pungency, and oxidized herbal hop fizz recede.

Peculiar blend of wood burnt smokiness and sinewy yeast souring forms abstruse musty grain-toasted India Pale Ale-like palate. Slim orange-lemon peel bittering combats hop-charred charcoal finish. Completely unlike any lager you’ve encountered.

Clear pale-bodied white-headed moderation with corned malt liquor aroma, parched hop persistence, and mineral water crispness dulls out quickly. Typical Eastern European tinny grain dankness, flimsy yeast souring, and obtrusive cloying nature obscure soapy suds to arid finish.

Fresh berry aromatics and fresh water flow usurp sharp hop bitterness tethering peculiar dry citric sourness. Honeyed Scotch whir and creamy Drambuie (though not as thickly sweet) illumination wait in the wings. Unassertive lager will please amateurs without discouraging experienced drinkers.

Languid smoked barley sweetness and faint wheat presence counter slack hop bitterness overwhelmed by watery carbonation. Roasted malts inundate unrealized finish. Compares unfavorably to Jamaica’s Red Stripe.

Crisp crystal malt simplicity, sugared barley roast and slimmest sourdough presence lost amongst barren hop-embittered fruitiness. Possible banana-breaded clove undertones spotted. Decent mainstream fodder.

Beautiful Russian Orthodox church on label worth noting, but hazy, pale, short-headed, clear-toned lager inside bottle remains bland. Earthy hop bitterness, freshly harvested barley wisp, dry rye mire, and spritzy lemon backdrop lead to dulled single malt whiskey finish.

Dry hop-fizzed abundance restrains pale malt toasting of unassuming clean-watered beer. Pleasant cereal-grained creamed corn easement soaks up mild citric bitterness, but this is too close to Holland’s version of Budweiser to be worthy.

Typical crisp Canadian lager. But fresh water appeal, polite mineral graining, and coy hop bittering can’t salvage muddled lemon rot finish of below average brew. Less creamy than most Sleeman’s brews; deeper-grained than Molson Ales.

Fine dark amber lager conveys butterscotch hilt, cracked wheat jilt, vanilla wafer lilt, and toasted almond tilt. Minor oxidation agitates citric twinge and earthy vegetal tinge.

Clear frail-headed pale-toned pilsner retains light-bodied metallic smoothness. Sour malt liquor palate may preclude softhearted tastes, but freshly cut barley, mowed grass, and rice pleasantries fit dainty fizz-hopped cotton-candied apricot-tangerine tang well.

Oldest Texas brewery cranks out these blue collar medium-bodied macrobrews. Murkily malted rice-maize conflux teeters on soured barley-hop frailty.
