Unique

Retired American Luddite and refugee of the 2018-2024 Ratebeer/Anheuser-Busch (InBev) fiasco. Thanks Brewver for the chance to continue rating! ....... and yes, I'll soon be a supporter! ........ Since 1968, I've enjoyed all kinds of cheap macro pale lagers, starting with Carling Black Label bottles I found in Grampa Gino's wine cellar! Later, my dad had faves like Old Mil, Strohs, Bud, Coors Light and Piels! They were all good for a budding youngster like me. My ratings aren't to style, but how much I liked it. Thus, my fave styles; lambic, wild & flemish, rate much higher than IPA since I don't like bitter hoppy beers. You like IPA? The lower my IPA rating, the better according to style! There, you have it! Easy peezy, no worries!

2$ can at vintage estates. Nice pale gold virtually clear with a good white foamy head that stays for quite a while. A little more personality in the nose compared to most pale lagers. First tells me this is not pale lager, its something different, too much character in this baby. This has got be something like pils, premium or even india style lager. Yes, in the middle I'm starting to think this is a cross between an india pale lager and a pilsner. Fer sher, not kidding. Also, the listed ABV seems a little low for the beef in this one, comes across more like a 6%+. Decent co2 thru-out. I bet pils and IPA fans are gonna liek this pale lager, hehehh. Medium long bitter finish that reminds me of some of those poorly made domestic pilsners. Me? Mr. macro pale lager lover? I thinks this stuff needs a few more manners.

Green City from Other Half Brewing

3.9/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 6 Flavor 3 Texture 3 Overall 2.5

Tap at mad mex. Big hazy pale. Creamy head. Smells like grapefruit rinds. Big fresh IPA hoppy flavor. Grapefruit rinds and such. Not as heavy as most IPA. Terribly on style yet its not as bastardy dastardly bad because of its apparent freshness. I despise IPA, but I think I can stand this one. Good level of building bitterness to the finish. CO2 level is good as well, which keeps it from being mouth coating.

Tap at mad mex. Mild floral hops nose. First taste is astringent sharp yet a flowering taste in the background. Not as down and dirty as most palate wrecking mouth coating IPA but is still is quite nasty in the middle. Decent co2 distracts me a little from the bitter bite. Bitterness build to the finish.

On tap at mad mex. Nose of alarming rubber innertube. Slight haze on pale. Tastes like rubber too. Diesel. Rotting fermenting green grapefruit rinds. Rather difficult. But hey, you like IPA? Then you need to put this terribly on style palate wrecking IPA on your bucket list, you will not be disappointed. Whew.

Tap at mad mex. Darker pale, some brown tint. Mild nose of fruity perfume. Odd interesting mild mint taste. Then the big rubber blast immediately smacks you in the face. Bitter in the middle with even more real rubber inner tube. Some diesel too, whew. Terribly rude ass on style, whew.
