12 oz. canfrom Trader Joe’s. Pours a fluffy off white head, of good duration, with some lacing, over a slightly hazy dark yellow (SRM 5) body......nose is corn, cereal, bit of grass....taste is very light malt to start, with a fairly minimal hop finish.....mouth feel is light and tends towards watery, carbonation make it soda like. This would be a fairly typical Pale Lager, but it is an incredibly light Pilsner, with minimal malt or hop character.

Can from Trader Joes, who might just have the worst beer selection in the entire world. Pours a clear dark pissy yellow without even much of the white head associated with such beers. Smells a bit grassy and straw-like along with the usual lager fuel and cornbread. Flavors are clean enough, a bit grassy, and somewhat sweet. Nothing too off or adjuncty to speak of. Body is pretty full feeling, the alcohol peaks through since the flavors are not very bold. Not really all that bad though. People that give this a .5 have clearly not had too many pale lagers, because there’s a hell of a lot worse ones than this. And to that, I say...Get your damn head out of your ass, fools.

Bottle shared by maniac. pours a pale light yellow with fair white head and sticky lacing. Nose is about the same as the lager, but a little more butter and a little less corny, and a good bit of vegetal. Flavor better, a bit grassy, and with a nice light saazy finish. Body is smooth and fuller than the lager. Not horrible, but definitely a pass.

this stuff tastes pretty bad. maybe worse tasting than the "simple tim" lager. only thing it does better than the lager is maybe the body not being so heavy and buttery. This stuff has a real skunky kick to it. I think I like the "Red Oval" better. most likely wont buy this one again, but then again... it is cheaper than water. maybe if I’m thirsty and can’t afford water. burp

Can. Awful. Skunky and just plain nasty. Not really any redeeming qualities.

Can from Trader Joes. Pours a clear golden with a white head, nice webby lacing. Faint but typical macro lagery and corny, grain aroma. Light bodied with a soda like carbonation. Flavor is sweet and corny, but there is some detectable European grassy bitterness, but it gets overpowered by the sweetness and adjuncts.
