For Beer Geeks And Rock Freaks

Rating: 2.5

‘A bolder light-bodied lager’ redefining inoffensively pallid ‘lite’ category due to higher alcohol content (6%) and less calories than Budweiser (137). In a translucent cobalt blue bottle, aluminum-cleared softie brings pastry-sugared crystal malting to unspecific fruiting as delicate hops trickle through. Thankfully, avoids musty corn-dried astringency and nasty alkaloid oiling of Bud Light. Trendy 2012-originated triple-filtered offering is better, sweeter alternative to mass marketed gunk.

Sessionable straw-paled light lager betters most stylistically similar moderations. Mineral-grained hop spicing and lemony spritz contrast rugged Eastern Euro-like corn-sugared maize-dried malt liquor smudge. An astringent bittering and tertiary grassy hay earthiness counter its backend doughy lightness.

Flaccidly under-whelming clear-bottled low-calorie light lager with salt-watered Seltzer fizz, phenol hop astringency, dehydrated corn void and faint metallic sheen is a quaint bore. Flimsy 55-calorie fodder for freakishly frail freshmen. 

Rating: 3.5

Perky light-bodied lager brings resinous floral-hopped citric spicing to sourdough breading. Musk-y lemon rot and orange compote pleat mild dry-wooded astringency. Biscuit-y malts bring salty pretzel and toasted baguette illusions to the fore. Serve to Euro pilsner fans.

Decent straw-cleared moderate body brings sunny lemondrop-candied briskness to corn-husked white breaded base. Fizzy carbolic pep ups the frisky spicing, but some metallic acridity seeps in. Betters just about all mediocre Latin American lagers.

 

Rating: 2.5

Tags:

Styptic German-styled lager allows gassy carbolic iodizing to agitate bitter citric-fused juniper bite, raw-grained herbal spicing and mild grassy-hopped stipend. Backend celery-rhubarb notion amplifies coarse reedy crudity. Closer to a bitterer British golden ale, perhaps.

Nasty Midwest muck brewed in Wisconsin for Indiana company sponsored by Ohio syndicate. Generic-named, purple-canned light lager starts desolate and watery, then turns ugly quick. Disturbing sourly skunked malt pungency, rotted vegetable continuance, and miring malt-liquored corn oiling not worse than cat-pissed ginger ale putridity. Chalky aspirin-like solvency beckons. As The Jam once sang, ‘the bitterest pill is mine today.’ At $11 a 30-pack it’s still not a bargain. Just awful.

Poor musty Italian blonde lager with pearly-headed opaque-cleared hue lacks body, texture, and complexity, though crisp alpine-watered sparkle revives salty club soda spritz. Thin, watery, washed-out and soapy, its doughy malt spine cannot carryover sour rye breading, swilled corn-floured murk, and phenol citric musk.

Rating: 2

Tags:

Cloying saccharine-like lime soda likeness may put off all but fruited malt beverage lunkheads. Dry lime spritzer (with acrid hop-fizzed aridity and straw-yellowed hue) picks up definite agave influence, but goes flat quick. Sugary lemonade snip, tart white-yellow grape parching, and zesty menthol herbage round out trendy light-bodied desiccation.

Rating: 2

Another dull clear-bottled beige-yellowed light-bodied Latin lager only Corona lightweights can stand. Mild corn-husked astringency contrasts equally intolerable cloying malt liquor musk and solvent sulfuric sash. Peppy carbolic hop fizz disrupted by blunt oxidization and spoiled cabbage patch.

Rating: 2.5

Tags:

Bleary apricot-desiccated orange-rotted astringency and gluten-free-like sorghum pasting bring musty acridity to fizzy Seltzer-watered 120-calorie moderation. Thin rice cake sweetness and mild Scotch blotch linger at pallid dry-hopped finish.

Rating: 2.5

Not far removed from styptic herb-embittered dry-grained 80 Shilling Scottish Ale or bland baquette-like Copper Ale, this medium-bodied pilsner-lager may be somewhat robust, but cardboard-like rye-breaded pungency, corn-husked brown rice musk and dirty vegetal earthiness skulk subsidiary sulfuric skunking. Desalinated tap water brings slight saltine hint. Richer and headier than Aruba brewery’s ‘Limited Brew’ as well as most lighter-bodied Caribbean beers, but dirtily vegetal and ultimately less rewarding.
