8/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 6 Overall 9.5
A 2$ can from vintage. Pour is very light pale wit a slight haze. Very fresh pale lager nose. My first taste impression is a relaxed even tempered mellow relaxed brew. Quite nice. Seriously, I can't find anything wrong with this. Its a really good example of a well made craft pale lager, no shit! I wasn't expecting much since most domestic craft brewers have lots of trouble making a very fine pleasant pale macro style lager. Co2 level is very good too! I'm sucking this down and it just may be one of the best pale lagers I've had in a very long time! Finish is serene blithe carefree nonchalant insouciant unruffled and simply enjoyable! Darn, the can is gone already! Nice job BF! I need to get a case of this stuff! Right up there with grand central St. Petian, Wiedemann's Black Cat Light and Fifty west american.

2$ can. Looks like root beer. Very malty nose. Boozy initial uptake, quiter strong flavor. Somewhat sweet, near cloying. Very little co2. Difficult. Near wheat wine. Gets a little more acceptable in the middle, maybe its the alky taking effect. Yes, as describe causing a mild spinning sensation towards the end. Gets smoother on the finish.

Wow, what a crazy mess of ingredients this can lists on its label! Pour is a slight haze on light pale. Nose appears to be mildly metallic with a lace of tart olfactory. First taste is pure medium heavy tartness and oddly, I can't seem to pick out any other flavors initially. However, in the middle, maybe I'm getting some lemon grass tartness, not sure. It just seems to be a tart beer with virtually no other flavor, so hard to describe. Virtually no sign of bitterness nor alky in this. Yea, just a tart beer; almost reminds me of some of those unflavored gueuze lambics I've had in the past. Very interesting. Good sizzle and cutting co2 on the palate. Maybe a touch of funk as well. I wasn't sure what to expect but this turned out to be a surprisingly good beer tasting session!

Can from vintage. Slight haze on pale. Nose is certainly fresh typical pils hop perfume. Taste is a little more bitter than I like but its not as piercing bitter as many poorly made domestic pils. Decent co2. It's Italian? A chi importa? Dire che è italiano è solo un altro espediente per vendere, amico mio, non cascateci.

3$ can at vintage. Many cans in this sixpack with different labels. Light haze on an otherwise clear pale beer with a big foaming head that fades to a few bubbles after a minute. Nose is crisp friendly citrus. First big swig makes me want to think bitter wheat ale but it immediately morphs into an overwhelming citrus impact. Mostly grapefruit but some other reticulata or mangshanensi maybe even some japonica; who knows? The middle reveals a little more freshness and manners. Getting over the wheat ale bitterness, it fades into the sunset. In the end I simply found it to be a refreshing alternative, nearly shandy but never forgets it is an ale.
