BUDWEISER SELECT LIGHT LAGER

Thin ultra-dry straw-paled light body with only 99 calories fails to ignite. Unleavened white bread barrenness and washed-out Seltzer-fizzed white aspirin chalkiness made worse by drab maize-rice finish. Faintest sweetness evaporates on impact. Inoffensive. Horrid canned version sucks more, allowing tinny metallic acridity to completely nullify barren corn-husked astringency and unbuttered popcorn spell.  

 

 

OKOCIM KARMI LIGHT LAGER

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.

CARIB LAGER

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.
