Mediocre white-headed golden-bodied middleweight smears malted barley sweetness atop charred hop bitterness and minor wood-chafed smokiness but depth and clarity lack.

Bland moderate-bodied pale lager diffuses pleasant grain toasting with bittersweet lemony orange tang. Clay hops induce phenolic enzyme-like acidity, dragging down leftover sugared malt efficacy.

Just another dull Latin American cerveza. Slightest musty malting overcomes bland grain setting and wispy citrus undertone lost amongst slim hop fizz. Moderate bitterness lingers to ineffective finish.

Middling opaque amber medium body with white-breaded rye-pumpernickel toasting fades to mild spice-hopped nut-charred caramel malt refuse. Metallic twang disrupts glutinous wheat component before settling into astringent orange-candied sourness.

Smoked salami nose matches strange cured meat smudge of agavi-spiced (?) bitterness. Though reminiscent of busier Mexican pilsners, dry malt souring at dismal phenol finish insults faded orange hint and unleavened bread nuance.

Mineral earthiness, grassy wheat dryness, and malted grain bitterness overwhelm oat-flaked sweet corn spine. Crisp hop bite reminiscent of better English-styled lagers. Mix with Sprite to make a ‘Shandy.’

Crisp water centers sharp grain bitterness, pale malt plainness, and sourdough follow-up for delicately nonchalant sunny yellow lager. Soapy finish succumbs to metallic raunchiness.

Commonplace clear golden Texan with crisp fizz-hopped water flow, slight wheat backdrop, and serviceable malt median lacks sufficient head, body, and finish. Mainstream best seller stuck in purgatory.

Distant pungent malt liquor scent nearly clashes with initial dry hop fizz and sweet barley thrust of soft-headed amber. Sugary sweetness borders on cloy and sour yeast backdrop can’t save premature finish. Better in the ’70s.

Pungent aroma dispelled by timid bread-like mouthfeel, soft wheat-rice backbone, salt water flow, and gentle cobweb lace. Smoky hints and hay-like finish casually infiltrate grain balm.

Sedate cereal-grained maize-floured moderate body layers peppy hop fizz over glutinous wheat sweetness as light skunk waft persists. Narrow pilsner-like template gets watery and washed-out so drink ’em from smaller 8-ounce bottles.

Once mainstream blue collar fodder sold at Mets baseball games, this traditional dry lager lives on in its better updated version boasting brighter orange-yellow body and minor turbidity. Pleasant fruited hop aroma and toasted barley-wheat backbone add new dimension to prominent sour malt frontage (which remains similar to original recipe). But sharp bitterness is gone by short-changed aftertaste.
