Bottle. One of the tasting regular lagers I’ve had in a while. A darker golden color then most lagers. Nice citrus taste balanced with the malts. Reminds me of the old Lowenbrau that was made by Miller. Balanced aroma. Just a really good beer.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance had a dulled looking orange color with a half finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. There was barely any lacing.
The smell didn’t have much, maybe some light cooked corn.
The taste was kinda sweet but still didn’t have really anything to show flavor.
On the palate, this one was slightly sessionable if one would want to drink more than one of these.
Overall, yes, I like to abuse myself with these Alexander Keith beers, thank God I just got done with my last one of their beers, though some were average, this one just didn’t have anything to it.

bottle - Pours clear yellow-gold, smells of grainy malt, tastes sweet and bland, and is overall just another mediocre beer. It manages to be better than many pale lagers, but that’s faint praise indeed.

This is fairly unpleasant. Amber color, lifeless in the glass with minimal head or carbonation. Virtually no discernible aroma except for a hint of caramel, flavor is caramelly, sweetish, thickish palate for a lager, and thus not at all refreshing. Lingering unpleasant bitterness.

Stolen from roommate: Pours an orange-like color with a white head. Aroma is of a tiny hop or two and this weird sweet bread smell. Taste has a kind of weird sweetish, grainy front. Doesn’t really taste like your run of the mill pale lager. Finish is a little different and finishes off with less taste. Not that great.

Clear dark straw color - moderate lace - aroma is light grass and honey, with some faint buttery character - full carbonation in the mouth - light body, watery texture - a touch of burnt grains and moderately bitter hops - fairly high sweetness, especially on the tail end - a bit buttery in the finish - pretty boring stuff, but not terrible.

Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. Pours gold with a creamy, fizzy off-white head. Bready aroma with hints of grassy hop. It’s actually fairly tasty. Mildly bready, lightly fruity and a hint grassy. Not so bad for a macro-fake.

12oz bottle. Filtered orange-copper, frothy white head. Not a bad aroma, maybe a hint of factory noble hops. Light to medium-bodied. Mellow peppery noble hops and a clean golden malt body. Very smooth and drinkable, this is a decent lager. Unfortunately lacks any Old World, Bohemian nuances, more sterile and streamlined.

Pour is a bright yellow with a large white head. Aroma is an ok dull malt. Flavor is more of the same a dryh malt with some adjuncts present. I guess this is made by ab here in stl. Nothing good but better than average lager.

OK, a brand new beer! poured from a bottle. My bottle says its brewed in st louis mo by a keith brewing. On this webpage it says its brewed by oland canada? Looks like pale lager, or maybe just a tad darker. Clean white holding head of abot one quarter inch. Decently clean lager aroma. A lager with personality that fades as the swig continues. Good sizzle with a slightly metallic backbone. A little alky shows on the finish, but not bad overall.
