Clover honey waft prefigures corn cereal buoyancy, creamy caramel malt seduction, and intervening chalky mocha-cocoa souring as tamped down hops fortify buttery finish of fine pale amber. Slight departure from usual grain-based South American beers.

(BIG CITY) REAL ROCK PREMIUM LAGER
B.B. BURGERBRAU LAGER
Heady ‘original’ Budweiser brewed in Czech Republic since 1795 brought to America in ’05, two years after the arrival of more consistent, less malt-y regional rival Budvar (a.k.a. Czechvar). Dry-hopped musk-scented honey roasted lager retains creamed corn assertion, toasted grain austerity, and malt liquor pungency. Informal Scotch piquancy, dank white bread staleness, and alfalfa-grass-horsehide trace whisked away by third sip. Canned version seems more astringently alcoholic and lemony bitterer.

RED STRIPE LAGER
Simple, soft-bodied, flat-headed pale lager in recognizable barrel-like brown bottle put Jamaica on beer map. Gentle barleymalt subtlety creases disturbingly sour lemon-limed backdrop. Grainy dirtiness differs substantially from most agave/ tequila-minded mass marketed Caribbean brews, putting it closer to a mustier, less cloying Budweiser.
