Carbonated sweet corn juice. Abysmal as a decent lager, but pretty spot-on as a Bud Light clone.

Clocks in at 7.6% in its current iteration. Decent, with a roasty undertone and mild citrus from the hops. Finishes with a white bread yeastiness that seems out of place. Better than the nachos.

On tap at the brewery pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is pine citrus hops floral and some bread. Taste is more of the nice hop forward kick and a little malt.

Very easy-drinking marzen, creamy and heavy on the toffee-caramel notes without growing overly sweet. Nutty and pastry-like on the finish, with slight apple esters and the mildest of hop bitterness on the fade. Pretty red-orange hue with a nice white head and modest lacing. Mediocre nose. Surprisingly nice festbier overall.

Salty as all hell, like licking the rim of a margarita made without the triple sec. Big yeasty lime front, yet everything gets clouded out by the briny backbone. Stays appreciably dry, but the pint becomes akin to chugging seawater by the time it warms. Refreshing, yet it also might cause severe dehydration. Gatorade Gose next time, maybe?
