Adequate green-bottled, amber-hued, eggshell-headed, salty bitter receives generous barleymalt sweetening. Briny alcohol-burnt maize-hay finish settles to humble cracked wheat aftertaste for fine session beer.

(DUVEL) BEL PILS BELGIAN LAGER
(ENGEL) BOMBERS PIN-UP BEER
Unique German lager packaged in bomber canteen pours light despite creamy density. Soft hop tingle and corn-sweetened malt liquor finish fade abruptly. Could use more character and body for $5 a can.

KINGFISHER LIGHT LAGER
(NEW CENTURY) MOONSHOT ’69 LAGER
Easygoing light lager contract brewed by Matt Brewery (makers of Saranac) christened after ’69 lunar landing to coincide with amount of caffeine used (69 grams) – same as a cup of coffee. Glutinous sour candied lemon drop opening overrides meagerly toasted cardboard-like barley-oats bottom, dry cocoa tease, and sweet corn smidgen.

BROU CZECH KOSHER LAGER
(HIJOS DE RIVERA) EXTRA 1906 LAGER
Fluffy white-headed pale-bodied barley-roasted lager with caramel-candied sweetness and mild sulfuric wisp leading to curious smooth Chablis-like finish. Lean metallic hop bitterness counters lingering buttery sweetness at back of the throat for one of the more satisfying Spanish brews. Fine as crossover for most white wine drinkers.
