Cheap can. Pours slight haze on pale. Somewhat Band-Aid nose. Nose carries over to the taste, odd almost farmy band-aid taste, weird at first. Not sure if it carries the real helles or dort attributes but that what it says on the style guide here. If at all, it's probably a premium lager. On the can it says German Lager. Pretty good co2 level. If you can get over the farmy bandaid thing, I think you'll be OK.

From a can hazy with a white head. Nose is crisp mild mango. First taste is medicinal, alky forward. A little rude. Some alky warming sensations in the mouth and down the throat. Yes, this is an almost annoying to endure. Not liking this. Yea. the nose is no indication of the enjoyability of this brew. Feels and tastes like an uncivilized alky content near 9%. whew. Harsh is a kind word for this. Think more like, grating, grinding, rasping, raucous & forwardly brassy. One rude ass bastardly brew.

Darker pale. Big head. Nose is rather neutral, yes some hops but its lacking the BO and perfume functions. Initial taste is rather mild for an IPA. Yes, it is bitter, and it is building, but initially it is rather acceptable. Let's not count my chickens before they hatch. Middle is bitter sun is rizen. It's even starting to get some of that astringent bite in there. Funny how it evolves. Whew. Yea, I even think I'm catching a buzz which almost makes the final terrible bitterness almost worthwhile. Does have a little carbonation clear to the end, makes it almost acceptable.

Decent for style. Light mercury, raw barley good profile here. Golden pour with decent head. Fizzy carbonation. Easy drinking beach beer. Can.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a semi-clear gold color with a small white head and poor retention. No lacing. Almost no aroma. Simple profile with flavors of grainy malt and some light yeast bread. Nicely crisp mouthfeel. Smooth and clean. Medium body. Low bitterness. Very golden ale-like. Nothing special, but a good daily drinker.
