Unpasteurized can. Drank next to the new, all-malt version. Don’t know what to do with that one on RB...This one was much lighter than the other, and fruitier, with more hop flavor, actually. The other one gets better points for the malt, but this one might be a better drinker. Light and easy to down, but nothing special in the least.

Looks like lighter yellow sparklin water. A lighter enjoyable beer on the palate. Better than many domestic light beers. Fun, fizzy bubbly palate. Slight industrial linger in the background but otherwise well behaved. Overall good experience for this lager loaver. Looking forward to another bottle of this stuff. One of the better pale lagers I’ve tasted.

24 ounce can. Pours a clear golden color with a large billowy head, decent head retention and lacing. Very rice-like, sweet aroma with some very grassy, almost metallic hops. Taste is tart and bitter malts along with bitter hops. Sort of a gummy bear fruitiness is in there too. Clearly rice is used in large quantities here. Medium bodied.

Can. Light aroma of fruit, cereals, corn. Pale golden color with a tall white head. Creamy, dull cereal flavor, rather sweet, with a bit of hops. Corn again. Not interesting at all. Why did they bother?

Chocolatey, malty aroma. Sweet and creamy with a bit of wheat malt. Pitch black with a tall tan head. Flavor of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee. Decent roasty bitterness with a clean, dry finish. Pretty good for a major.
