Meek straw-yellowed moderate-bodied witbier-likened Catalan lager in green-tinted wine bottle could use better up-front doughy insistence and richer fruitiness (though its mild nature complements vinegar-based salads, tuna, and salmon). Seltzer-like citric spicing wavers below wet-papered sorghum flouring, wheat-honeyed crystal malting, and gentle ginger herbage. Washed-out lemon candied tartness, floral mandarin orange wisp and unripe peach subsidy gain acidity while under-whelming orange peel, coriander, and lime illusions prove negligible for fizz-toned summer session beer.

Simple pale-bodied session beer that’ll satisfy poorer American blue collar tastes. Sour corn-oiled turn-off picks up dry phenol hop bittering fortifying fragile barley-roasted wheat-cracked spine to minimal soapy finish. Oily diacetyl mouthfeel, putrid Scotch malting, green apple souring, and cooked vegetable tinge beat down satisfactory rice adjunct.

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.

Clear golden-hued white-headed green-bottled lager lacks distinction despite boasting influence of ten international brewmasters’ strange affinity towards exploiting Heineken-Beck’s sour malted grain sharpness. Sunny hop briskness and bread-y yeast pungency remain steadfast, but fizzy seltzer flow whimpers to mild bitter finish.

Innocuous clear golden light body maintains unspecific citric whiff to match fizzy lemony sugar zip. Dull bread-y bottom drops out.

Skanky malt sourness, dismal hop bottom, and steely metallic tinge ruin slightly salted fizzy frontage and vague corn nuance of trashy macrobrew.

Palest yellow whitest-headed golden lager rightfully popularized by topless models hidden beneath peel off label rather than boring liquid inside. Faded peach-grapefruit dryness layers bland white bread base of negligible session beer. Brewery defunct: 2009.

Blending agave, citrus, and undefined spices, clear-bottled lime-scented malt-lacquered brew gets disturbingly cloy after ill-advised sour-candied fruit tartness goes south. Only better than Zima, if that’s progress. The beer equivalent of a lame wine cooler.

Apparently Bacardi (the rum co.) brought this Cuban recipe (pronounced ah-tway) to America for the masses. Orange-yellow hue, caramel-malt aroma, and creamy up-front sweetness settle into syrupy 5.5% alcohol fueled dud. Much too processed for serious consumption, but in line with sweet barley-based Caribbean’s such as Red Stripe and Carib Pilsner.

Translucent ivory-yellowed ‘premium pilsner’ brings tart lemon spritz, unleavened bread musk, and grassy hop pitch to spotty dry maize finish redolent of Corona with lime slice. Just a hair less inspired than Kaiser’s mediocre A Marca Bavaria.
