At aldi for $1 a bottle. Roasted malt nose. Looks pretty good in the glass, yes, just a slight red tint on pale. Initial taste is pretty good, better than some of the other 'state of brewing' aldi stuff I've had. Pretty funny eh? Name of brewery is State of Brewing, LoL. Has a little bit of chocolate in it which keeps it quite tame. Yes there is a bit of a processed feel to it, but what the hay? It's only 4.5% and cost a buck! Decent carbonation to the end. Could easily drink a few of these. Not bad.

Got this bottle at aldi for about a buck. A darker than pale brew, brown but not super dark. Nose is somewhat back and so is taste. Just surprised that the ABV is only 4.5%. Must be a bock lite, heheheh. Goes down fairly easy, civilized for a bock, not harsh. Not bad, just wish it had a little more kick.

Bottle from aldi. Does have that mild olfactory of banana bublegum. Pour is slight haze but not as hazy as a real hefe. Also, there is no sediment on the bottom of the bottle. Taste is fairly mild and there is barely a hint of real hefe there, and it is ever present hangen in the background. Not bad for a 1$ bottle, I'm impressed. It's right up my cheap alley! Very good co2 level clear to the end. Slight processed feel to in the end. Not bad overall! Could drink a few of these.
