Appley, light malt, low bitterness, low hop expression. I guess making fake Lucky had better margins than just selling Lucky?

Opaque, medium head, quite pale. Tart, salty, light margarita character so it does what it says it will do.

Cloudy peach body and okay foam. Smells of great tart pineapple, fresh and juicy. Taste is good fresh pineapple juice, sweet with a slight tartness. Ends with nice lingering sugar. Enjoyable, easy, crowd pleasing fruit sour.

Okay dark brown body with some modest foam. Smells of nice sweet biscuit and molasses. Taste is nice malty biscuit, a bit of chocolate syrup, ends smooth with just the right amount of carbonation. A crowd pleasing stout and done well.

Weak clear gold body with minimal foam. Aroma is too soft grass and some cardboard. Taste is cereally, some corn, ends sweet and smooth. Not bad but very grain forward and a bit of hop presence wouldn't hurt (if done well).

Deep brown body and some okay foam. Smells of soft sour molasses, not bad. Taste is okay fruity malt, plum hints, ends smooth with lingering sweetness. Nothing spectacular but getting the job done.

Semi-murky brown body and some okay foam on top. Aroma is okay maltiness, some slight sweet hops. Taste is okay sweet malt, slight dark cereal, a bit of sugary hops. Ends smooth but a little thin. Could be great with some work.

Okay clear lighter gold body and some modest foam. Smells of soft hops, slightly sweet, a bit of plastic. Taste is okay hops, some citrus, vague lemon, has okay carbonation and feels just slightly thin. Adequate and nothing more.

Clear caramel body and some modest foam. Aroma is weak caramel and molasses. Taste is weak grain, some hop sweetness, ends smooth. Quite boring, rather subpar.

Okay gold body and some okay foam. Smells of okay sweet corn, some soft grain. Taste is good corn, sweet grain, great carbonation helps this immensely. A decent crowd pleasing lager.
