In early July of 2023 I happened to meet the CS brewery rep (shout-out to Don B.) at my local Binny's. We were talking German-style lagers with the beer department guy and I mentioned Maibock and Märzen were my favorites.
The CS rep then gifted me a mixed 4-pack of their beers -- even after I admitted trying them (far) in the past and not being inclined to try them again since.
So here's my first of 4 focused, honest reviews with no influence by free beer.
Tasted on 7-10-23. No apparent date on the pint can. 5.5 ABV on this can.
L -- Pours a clear, pale straw yellow with a firm, white head.
S -- Mild citrus and grain, but very heavy with DMS.
T -- Vegetal DMS up front, bready malt attempts recognition. Some mellow, Kölsch-like fruitiness fights the DMS. Herbal hops in the finish and aftertaste.
F -- Mouthfeel is soft to crisp with a light body.
O -- DMS too forward in this beer. Takes away from what should be a clean and refreshing quencher.
