Eye is clear light orange tinted on heavy pale color. Off white creamy head fades to pond scum after a while. Nose is rather aged hops, date on can says good till oct 2026, so I'm not sure here. Must be those 'fine' american hops, hehehh. Woe, first taste is rather heavy on the old hops feeling. Woodsy pine old fermented green grapefruit pulp. Difficult, lots of bitter bitterness, hah. Certainly hints of the terroir that the hops were grown in. Quite nasty rototiller. Co2 level is almost acceptable, to keep it from coating the inside of my pie hole. Middle is getting somewhat astringent and phenolic, sticks inside the palate. Ends like a biggy blasty bastard. Long terrible finish hangs around like an earworm. Whew. There, you have it. Can 3$ from JRs.

3$ can at chalet. Ever so slight haze on pale. Nice white head. Clean typical fresh beer pilzy mild perfume nose. Has some personality on the uptake. Getting some yeast in there up front. Yes, some pils bite in there at first but its not immediately in yer face. In the middle getting a tad of rubber on top of some phenolic astringency. Towards the end, the pilsner bite is growing sharply, actually begins to get on my nerves a little. Good level of co2 throughout. Ends with a deep rooted continuous biting gimalkin, whew. Drinkable but not quaffable.

Pounder can for 3$. Interesting label. Slight haze on pale with a very light yellow foamy head. Nose is mild pine needles. First taste is very terribly on style, perhaps a little lighter than I was expecting, yet it is still big bitter IPA bullshit fer shoe. Unpalatable clunkers, boat feet and brick kicks for a flavor profile. Middle is distasteful grim-walkers, mish-mashers and dino-stompers. Now I think I'm getting some unsavory screamers, misfits, eyesores & slack-lacers. This is followed up with horrible flop-tops, groan-growns, nay-plays, wiince-wear and a feeling of unappetizing huh-hubs. Finally a negative nellie finish of awful tasting blah-booties, gag-gear, oops-ops yawn-yappers. There, yer footware has it.

Pounder can for 2.50$ from chalet. Pour is clear pale with a big white foamy head. Slight sweet noble hops perfume for an aroma. First big taste is mild noble hops but certainly more personality than your typical pale macro lager. No real bittering hops in this. Leaves a distinctive aftertaste, yet I think most macro lager lovers will accept this brew. Easy going, with decent carbonation and pretty good after cutting the grass, Not as good as Northern Row Hustler, St. Louis Summer, Noble Creature Alex Fox nor Lowenbrau Original, but still pretty good in its own right.. I'd say its online and comparable to Hacker-Pschorr Münchener Gold. A little bitterness builds on the finish.

When I popped the lid, this cute little can of buddy squirted and foamed all over the place. Luckily I had enough left to taste out of a small brandy sniffer, whew. Very light pale yellow, and the head of course, was white and about 4 inches thick. Most of the glass was white head and a tiny amount of pale lager in the bottom. Smell is a pleasant clean lager nose with a tad of cream corn sweetness, typical fresh pale lager olfactory. First taste is sortah mix of some helles and a touch of pils mild bitter bite. A little more personality than the common macro. Lots of cutting carbonation on the palate, I like that. Before I knew it, the can was gone! Not bad. Could drink about 8 of these endearing little pony cans, hehehehh.

2$ can from vintage estates. Pour is big and black, large and in charge bubbly foaming tan head. Very impressive stoutly nose with maybe hints of vanilla in the aroma. I'm not much one for vanilla in my dark beers but I thought I'd tick it for 2 bucks. Yes the taste is very dark roasted mildly burnt wood fer sher. But then that vanilla thing starts to kick in. Yea, could do without that heavy flavoring. Leaves a sort of a medicinal mouth coating feel on the back of the throat. Maybe if sondy backed off a tad on the over the top vanilla extract, whew. Settles in with the burnt bitterness to an unattractive middle, bro. hehehehh. I was able to finish this, but certainly would not try again. I have had some decent vanilla beers but this one is not nearly as good as Rock Bottom Vanilla Carob Stout, John Harvards La Prima Espresso Vanilla Porter, Beaver Brewing Vanilla Cream Barrel Aged nor Great North RVP. I wouldn't even put brobie in the same class, bro.
