Draft with lunch at The Albright. Paired fine after hot boardwalking and shrimp roll. Gold pour and foamy head little thin looking. Nose is light grains. Tatses of grains and cereal hint of citrus. Watery palate. Not as bad as other reviews say just not exciting at all. I’m heading to the brewery in a few

Draught at LAX, 12/11/22. Eagerly anticipating this after reading Ernest's 1.6 review! Deep golden-maize, clear. Small, poorly retained, white head. Some sharp esters or other fermentation character. Crackery grains though I'm not getting DMS. Maybe a bit of glue, maybe some vanilla.... Grainy, cereal malt character, somewhat sharp, rather sour and quite macro-like. Odd they seem to be making good quality IPAs, but then put out this crap. Just needs more lagering and a bit better malt extraction; don't think there's anything too crazy wrong here otherwise.

Can. Clear light yellow beer with medium head. Citrusy, bit stale, bit too old too.

12oz can at lunchtime on 14th February 2022 at my daughters place in Laguna Hills. Went well with my chicken salad roll. As the name suggests, this is a blonde coloured beer, the head a wispy white affair after an initial full covering. Weak nose, floral/grassy/citrussy/grainy, all very subtle. The taste is slightly sweet with a grainy base, not much hop action going on.

Überraschend fruchtiges Blondes, in der Nase Fruchtpunsch, im Trunk ebenso, etwas Getreide, geht schon. Vielleicht etwas zu fruchtig.

35cl blik van Beer Republic Advent #2. Mistig goudgele kleur, witte kraag. Ruikt licht zurig, limoen, sinaasappel, ook wat doperwtjes helaas, smaak is redelijk fris maar echt te dun om interessant te blijven. Lichte body.

#2 Beer Republic advent calendar. Unclear golden, foamy head. Citrus notes, unfermented wort, corn, cardboard, hay, grain. Mild dry bitterness, malty corny sweetness. Light bodied, watery texture, lively carbonated, dry sweet finish. Not good and rather pale lager like and quite bland overall.
