gross, bread crust flavor. sweet corn smell. really active bubbles. not good, but cheap. Bottle at whole foods.

Smooth, malty body. little bit sweet, with some, aromatic fine hops at finish. very nice.

Labeled Premium Export Lager. The aroma is sweet with a floral and grass type hop. The malt is grainy. The appearance is pale gold with a small head that falls fast. The flavor is bitter in a medicinal and astringent way. There is also a significant sweetness of cereal grains. The palate is thin. Overall it fits the style OK but the flavor is unpleasant and finishes soapy. With a name like Schmuckers it doesnt have to be good.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts mild, modest hoppy, a bit spicy. Finish still mild, a bit prickly. Drinkable, but nothing really special.

Bottle from local Publix. I assume this is the same beer I had. Aroma is malty and beer has a pretty sweet taste. Malt overflows the tongue. A bit too sweet for a lager. But not too bad either.
