Pours clear gold colour with a thin head. Light head residue and lace. A crisp, carbonated lager. Not much going on with the aroma. The taste is sweet with cereal/grassy overtones. Nothing overwhelming or dominant. Don't expect any complexity. It fulfills the characteristics of an American lager. I enjoyed it for what it is.

On tap at Kesli g’s Kitchen in Borrego Springs, CA.

This beer does the trick like that one chick in “Nights of Calabria.” Yeah, it’s pretty much like that - a romp that you have to pay for, but it’s still a romp. And this offering is ok on all sides.

Ok, see ya, my children.

A-Golden Strother yellow, very clear and transparent. A bright white head that does linger for a while
S-aroma is that of white bread and yeast particles
M-Medium carbonation with a light Sweet mouth feel
T-A very sweet overall beer that lacks some character and flavour development
O-Your standard yellow beer more on the sweet side

My personal favorite beer of all-time. It's an obscure beer. It was at an Italian restaurant in my area, but it closed. It's highly rare in my vicinity. It is truly an amazing beer!

Pours a golden color with a decent head. Not much aroma. Taste is clean and crisp; Italian Stella Artois. Mouthfeel is a little more full than I expected; which I like. Overall, nothing special but very drinkable and decent with heavy Italian meal.

A bottle at Zizzi's. Straw colour. Very fizzy. Frothy head.
Little aroma discerned. Cut grass maybe.
Tastes like euro lager to me. Why APL?
I suppose it was quite refreshing with my mixed Italian starter.
