Clear gold with a nice white head. Woody and earthy hops. Soft woody and earthy notes. Not the clean notes expected with the style. Muddy and not pleasant.

Pale yellow gold with a rich white head. Nice light grains. Touch of bitterness up front with some decent grain notes. Not bad for a light beer.

Cloudy, tan, thick head. Watery, touch wheaty. Some underlying fruitiness but honestly this is like small beer. Just disappears quickly and there’s not much there at the best of times.

Okay medium clear gold body and some modest foam on top. Aroma is very weak grain, really just too weak. Taste is more weak grain and slight butter. Ends wet with soft carbonation. This one needs work, very little to like here. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pre Prohibition Lager on 17 Jun 2021 at 23:18 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7. Original review text: Pours a very good foam and stormy light yellowy gold body. Smells of sweet corn, light, slight cereal notes and not too sweet. Taste is a rustic yeast profile like a Belgian ale, coriander notes it seems, orange peel and slight cereal with a sharp dry finish. Reminds me more of a Belgian blonde than a lager, but well made and nice to drink.

Okay soft clear orangey gold body with mellow foam. Smells of musty wood, soft grain, vegetal hops. Taste is all soft grain and vague hops. Ends too wet, thin, nothing compensates for this. I know a low alcohol IPA can be done well but this isn't a good example.
