How do you rate the Macro Brews?!

those of you who would turn down a beer you don't like rather than drink an AAL are still welcome at *my* house.

just, ya know, fyi.

 

I've rated a few macros and I rate them not by style, but using the same comparison I use for all beers. I am very surprised at the play that PBR and Bud are getting. They are the two worst(with coors light) in my opinion. If I have to a macro, give me a MHL.

 

The question I have is: What is the perfect adjunct lager? I rate according to style, and there has to be a 5 in every style.

 

I try to be fair and objective with every beer I drink. When I rate a beer I compare to other beers of the same style but it has to be a style I enjoy. Rating a style you do not like is a pointless waste of time. It does not matter to me if it's mass produced or mirco-brewed. If it's good to you....Cheers! P.S., Li'l help reaching my beer?

 

If I'm at a bar, I feel like drinking and they sell nothing but adjunct lagers, I buy Pabst every time.

 

What's your criteria for adjunct lager?

 

Clear body, decent head retention, light lacing. Sweet aroma of malts, rice, corn, no metallic smell. Tastes clean and crisp with faint rice/corn bill. Light body, carbonated. I don't know. My point is, is there not a perfect adjunct lager anywhere? I get the idea that everyone rates adjunct lagers horribly because they aren't 8% DIPAs.

 

perfect adjunct lager ? I had Modelo Especial today at a party for the first time and it was close to being that.

 

Just have to stay true to what you like and rate it honestly on how you really feel. I believe you shouldn't rate a beer if you don't enjoy that style to begin with. Someone that enjoys that style might overlook it because of a poor review and that's a shame.
