Bottle @ home via the rot box. Nepal tick. Mike (bytemesis) gave me this during my SF visit and I thought I had lost it. Turns out it got thrown in the back of the roter. Glad I found it! Thanks again, Mike! Pours a clear light golden yellow appearance with a white head. Toasted grain, pizza dough, and a bit of lemon in the nose. Pretty high sweetness but it also has a high dull bitterness.. A lot of dough and cracker in the flavor. Pretty full body. Not all the fun to drink. Bud Light is better.

Doesn’t taste as good as it would if I’d carried it up a mountain to drink but ok for a pale lager. Bottle thanks to Nimbleprop.

Mild rice nose, possibly corn as well. Clear yellow, thin head. Mild grainy flavor, cane sugar and honey on the edges. Weak, but the flavor is ok. Lightly sweet lager.

Pours clear golden with a foamy head that is completely gone in seconds. Aroma is plastics and honey. Taste has some raw vegetables, a touch of sweet honey and raw grass bitterness at the end. Quite watery. Some beeswax flavour remains in the aftertaste. Simple beer, has probably travelled a long way before I could taste it. Not impressive at all but not terrible.

Bottle. Pours clear golden yellow, small kinda fizzy white head, dissipates quickly, laces pretty well. Aroma is corn syrup, vegetal, urine. Flavor is a little better, but still pretty bad, light plus sweet, very little bitterness until the finish. Light body, high carbonation. Vegetal aftertaste. Yum.
