look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Colored amber-yellow, tiny suspended sediment throughout, transparent, foam cap holds, foam drapes glass when drank.

Malt smells light and sweet, balanced and fresh smelling.

Slight tartness at first leads to a smooth light malt that continues to the finish, unsweet malt throughout. Fresh grains and malt.

Carbonated smoothness come out when drank. As with taste, slight twang at the beginning to becomes and ends smooth, aftertaste of satisfying maltiness, but again not overpowering at all.

Well done, pleasantly surprised, I need to find this and buy some more.

Bright and light golden color with a thin head with short retention.
Aroma starts similar to an Adjunct Lager, though I understand it uses 100% Barley malt. Hints of lemon, honey, bread malt sweetness and metallic.
Flavor with notes of grainy malt and herbal hops. Dry aftertase with a medium bitterness.
Light body with good carbonation.
Average Pale Lager, not much different than an Adjunct Lager, though it does not neglect hops.

not great but beats some of the other options (of the same category) available. Ok for "pool" / beach beer.

This is the ugliest beer I´ve ever seen, looks weird yellow, not beer like yellow. Smell is appropriate for the style but has a metallic note there. Taste is nice, it rescues how bad it looks.

Clean, light malt peachy smell aroma. Gold color with dusty notes and a decent white head that went quickly away. Starts with a light malt sweetness that is almost immediately balanced by hop. The finish is lightly bitter. Arguably a light pilsener. An okay effort that bests the mass-produced mexican crap.

12 oz. bottle,

A: Pours a deeper gold with a much fuller white head than the Light. Good retention, some lace.

S: Pils type malt, honey and lemon, light hops.

T: Fairly fruity for a pale lager. Notes of orange and honey, lemon hops. Light malt flavour.

M: Light-bodied, fizzy, prickly carbonation.

O: A solid pale lager, I was something with a little more hops and balance.

355ml bottle poured into a 16oz pint glass.

A - Pours with just under a finger of slightly off-white head. Translucent pale yellow in color.

S - Sweet malt and adjunct grain, with something weird that I can't quite identify in the background; but I think it might be beans.

T - Light malt and hops upfront with a really metallic finish. Not exactly a desirable flavor profile off the start. I don't particularly care for the flavor here, but it brings more character to the table than a lot of other lagers I've tried.

M - Surprisingly low carbonation with a medium body to it.

D - After a few other reviewers said they had conflicting ABV listings I decided to check my bottle, only to find that it doesn't state the ABV anywhere on it. The strong metallic aftertaste is also quite unenjoyable. Altogether, this doesn't make for a very good brew.

Thanks to Jacob for another rare lager tick from what I can assume is some incarnation of a dollar store.

A: The pour is a clear straw color with a fizzy white head that dies away quickly.

S: Not a horribly offensive aroma, but not necessarily a good one, either. Pretty watery with some mild grain/malt notes to it and a bit of skunk. This is supposed to be a 100% malt beer, but I can't help but smell corn.

T: Pretty much the same story with the flavor. Watered down for the most part with a bit of grain/malt flavor. Some grassy hops, mild skunk, and an overall pretty bland flavor.

M: Certainly light bodied with a medium level of carbonation.

O: I was expecting worse, but this turned out to be okay. I won't say it was good, or that I'd want to drink it again, but it wasn't offensive.
