22 oz bottle purchased for $2. I’m not really sure what is more interesting; this beer, or the articles online that surround it. I’ve read about the possibility of AB halting the brand, all the way to them paying people back their money (and then some) for drinking it. All because people can’t fathom the idea of an imported beer being brewed in their backyard. Or in this way, the great gateway to the west. I’m not one to care. When it comes to this kind of beer, I tend to remain on the less picky side. Although a US brewed Becks VS a German brewed Becks would be a fun blind taste test. All of this added up to the thought crossing my mind that I better rate this before I lose my opportunity. That, coupled with the fact that growing up, this was my Dad’s favorite beer, and drank it about as much as I drink every other beer combined. I suppose I also hadn’t submitted a long, random, rambling review in a while, so I guess I’m killing a half dozen birds with one beer. I felt very silly pouring this into a glass, but I did for color and appearance reviews alone. Don’t worry, I’ll drink the rest properly out of the bottle. When it comes to green bottle, premium import/export (see above) lagers, this one is decently refreshing and most importantly, finishable. Nearly transparent pale yellow color with an aroma that filled the room upon cracking it open. Extremely light flavor. About as watery as they come. There isn’t a single flavor strong enough to identify or point out. I certainly wouldn’t use the word "complex" in it’s description, but no heavy complaints here. Just an average, water forward light lager. For two bucks, I’m sure I’ll find myself in a "why not?" mood again someday.
