Strong sour malt pungency wafts through light pale body as slightest barley roast lingers above cardboard-sidled sugar water fizz for pleasant seltzer substitute.

Like many simplistic South of the Border lagers, ivory-yellowed pale-tinted fluffy-headed softie suffuses tequila-esque agave essence with mild hop thrust and frisky maize-rice appendix, providing much needed bite to otherwise flat, metallic, watery finish. Serve with Mexican food.

Oxymoronic ‘dark light beer’ edict fits tan-headed chestnut-bodied softie as fluctuant sweet-sour malts and dry wheat spine provide thicker resonance than weaker, paler competition. Salty snacks bring out minor fruit variables. Brewery defunct: 2004.

Strangely weighty reddish brown malt liqueur-like light lager with aromatic molasses tinged by newly lit cigarette waft delivers unexpectedly overbearing egg-creamed maple syrup sweetness backed by raisin-ripened cola nuttiness. Sugary toffee stickiness turns dauntingly grape-soured by dank smoked finish, though damp tobacco leaf resonation and dry oats provide firm spine. Possibly too busy for its own good.

Soft hop fizz tickles tongue, but cloy nature distracts from light candied malt flow of tepid, less filling, seltzer-like beverage best served with lemon twist to softhearted amateurs. Compares favorably to Miller Genuine Draft, but with corn-saturated easiness instead of mere sugar water flow. Also, Corona fans should try ’em for quick comparison.

Deviant tawny lager splendidly debunks competition as delicious barbecue-smoked palate allows pithy lemony grapefruit-orange souring to engage mild hop-charred wood chip burn. Creamy foam wisp moistens lips before aromatic honey-dipped barleymalts seduce spicy bottom of respected India -brewed medium body.

Genuine wheat-backed German draft gains rich hop-grained consistency. Creamy crystal malt sedation spreads across tongue. Doesn’t explode in the mouth with usual foamy effervescence many yeast-injected German brews sometimes do. ‘Smooove.’

Mired by dry rye desolation and wheat bread doldrums, murky non-alcoholic beer flattens to perfunctory sourdough finish as sagging toasted malts vanish. This trite brew is now defunct.

Despite Moroccan lineage, thin pale body resembles South of the Border pilsners with its musty-grained dry hop astringency and toasted barley tease. Worse, moderate-bodied drool can’t escape cardboard tendency. Herbal mint tinge seems displaced.

Initial softly textured carbolic hop bitterness gives way to arid barley overtone. Dreary grain finish gains spicy tint after a few sips.

Indistinct clear-toned light lager retains dry-bodied crispness, bland watery flow, and mildly bitter hopping. But obstructive carbonation, fleck popcorn tedium, and solvent nature put this one step above useless Lite beers and cloy Bud.
