BECK’S ORIGINAL-BRAUEREIABZUG

Very little is known about obsolete whiskey-wafted Caribbean Island-acquired German brew. Aged seven years in clear-toned red-labeled 12-ounce bottle, uncommon Bavarian pilsner-lager transcends typical stylistic boundaries a bit with its vintage Scotch Ale twist and sneaky alcohol whir. Mild and rounded vermouth-dried Chardonnay buttering lingers softly to caramelized fig-sugared apple-candied apricot-nectar whim. Try in lieu of dessert wine, if you can find ‘em anywhere.

ESTRELLA DAMM INEDIT

ESTRELLA DAMM INEDITMeek 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.

BANKS CARIBBEAN LAGER

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.
