Red Hook-brewed Hawaiian-styled pale lager may lack depth (and taste somewhat different from original version), but dry-bodied toasted bread frontage and multi-grained pumpernickel-rye respite will please whole-wheat bread eaters. Zesty citric esters and sour green raisin wisp bring meager fruited swirl. 

Eye-catching circus freak-labeled series continues with complex 10% alcohol-fueled German-styled doppelbock posing as a strong lager. Sugary ginger sweetness invades red cherry, golden raisin, purple grape, and apricot fruitiness as well as buttery molasses-chocolate malting. Peppery hop fizz simmers tertiary gin-soaked barleywine, Chardonnay, and rum boozing and slight metallic twang. Like the finest non-flavored vodka, this full-bodied lager elevates its supplemental ingredients.

Rugged skunked malt odor swamps green-bottled billowy pearl-headed faded gold Greek ‘Hellenic.’ Dissipating barleymalt flap, corn syrup scourge, and cereal grain stipend bungle indistinct sugar-hopped fizz water.

Mundane malt liquor swill with offensive grain alcohol mandate, funky cider pungency, and sordid grain slunk nearly salvaged by sticky corn syrupy malts. Sagging rice base and oily nature diminish tertiary ester-y grape souring. Soapy finish fades quickly.

Molson version of antiquated American macro proves less is more as minor hop fizz, wispy wheat whisk, and sparkling water crispness offer Canadian upgrade. But dry lemon pith pucker and grain backing lack resolve.

Nasty corn-oiled lager with cloying glutinous wheat backdrop truly sucks. But 30-packs found for $15 will please indigent vagrants and high school dorks alike.

Supposed  ‘traditional Slovak’ golden lager sinks dry-hopped grain overtones into pasty caramel malt pleasantry. Herbal citric spicing tingles lingered nut bread finish, but light-bodied watery nature lacks depth of better Eastern Europeans such as Czechvar.

Deer head label is all to recommend of pale gold bore. Malt-soured maize simplicity meets fizzy flat finish that gets metallic to boot.

Simplistic sudsy saltwater light body as fresh and clean as the Hawaiian surf. Soft buttered malt sedation and delicate floral hopped citric swerve perfect for mainstream lagerheads.

Strangely, (sometimes) brewed by Moosehead instead of Molson, this 5% alcohol lager has dank malt aroma, pervasive barley sweetness, and thin hop ripples, but lacks crisp, clean water texture prevalent in other Molson brews.
