Putting this here. It seems close. There's an E&B that has very similar logo to this, E-B. This states A Detroit Icon Since 1884. Unmatched and unchanged. Taste the tradition of E-B Premium Lager. Eastside Brewing LLC, Grand Rapids, 49546. So random. 12 ounce bottle from Jim's Foodmart Houghton, 7/11/20. Kinda felt thick while pouring. Hazy amber, thin fizzy white head, fair retention. Aroma of grain and apricot. Taste is caramel, grain, apple. Thin. Drinkable I guess but completely unimpressive and not really worthy of note.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy pale golden/straw color with a 1 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with pale malt and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness of pale malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors; minimal fruity/yeasty notes. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smoot, moderately bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a very good pale lager. All around nice robustness of pale malt and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the minimall bitter finish. Flavorful and not too watery feeling for the ABV. Clean pils malt and mild earthy hop balance. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.
