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!

She’s A Beaut from Cinderlands Beer Co.

2.3/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 3.5 Flavor 1 Texture 2 Overall 1

Tap at mad mex. Hazy pale. Barely any nose. Bitter rubbery taste. Bitterness builds thru the middle. Pretty ruff. Not really a beauty, heheh, but dead on brutal IPA style. Nasty odd medium spice finish.

Tap at source. Big and black. Thin tan head. Fine attractive toasty roasty dark beer nose. Very nice taste on the uptake, yes one of my favorite styles and this does not disappoint. Civilized, good flavor. Great old burnt damp campfire wood without any bitterness. I'm really liking this stuff. Very good there helicon!

Cornbread Revival from Helicon Brewing

6.3/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 4 Overall 7

Tap at source. Orangish pale. Slight haze. Mild floral nose. Interesting and unique flavor. Some hay, some flowers, some honey. A little sweet but never cloying. Very friendly, goes down easy. Enjoyable, easy, refreshing. Some bitterness building in the middle, but overall a nice fun brew!

Repeater from Butcher and the Brewer

5.5/10 — Appearance 3 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6.5

2$ can from vintage. Slight haze on pale color with a big fading white head. Nose is rather fresh typical pale lager. First taste oddly has some saison attributes and a little pepper. Decent carbonation. Maybe some slag in there, like gramma's permanent hair treatment or J&L blast furnace discharge. Now getting some fresh cut hay in there as well. Yea, in the middle that farmhouse saison attribute stuff keeps coming on and its not in a bad way. It actually adds some respected personality to this. Not sure where we got the helles lager style from, it doesn't say that on the can. Pretty good stuff, could drink a few of these babies. In the end, its just a quaffable well balanced lager that's unique compared to all the macros out there, yet still goes down just as civilized. No real bitterness to speak of but there is some noble hop personality ever present.
