Trader José Dark Premium Lager

Brown color with an off-white head that dissipates quickly to just a few bubbles adrift inside a ring of tiny bubbles. Heavy caramel, light sorghum, and touch of brazil nuts. Flavors of light molasses and dark chocolate. HInts of iron and peat. Very simple.

Bottle pours copper and brown in color with a barely noticebale head. Musty, corn and yeasty aroma. Dry bitterness at the beginning and very thin body. Slight breadiness and possible oxidation. Some off flavor in there. A bit of chocolate as well. Not terrible, but not worth going out of the way for.

Pours an brown amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is a light roasted note with a crisp lager background and slightly sweet. Flavor carries a light smoky note, light sweet caramel, smooth roasted note and a crisp lager bite at the end. High carbonation, nice density with a very smooth and creamy feel. Overall a great beer for the price and on that is honestly pretty well rounded.

5 bucks for a 6-pack. I think that should count into it’s rating. It’s really not bad and is like a maltier version of Negra Modelo. Would buy again for the money, but might not seek out if you just want to try it... Pretty one-dimensional, and there are a thousand better ones out there, although it does taste just fine.

Pours clear dark amber with a rough and fading off-white head. Aroma of brown sugar and grass. Light body, moderate carbonation. There is a bit of biscuit and nutty brown sugar taste here. Crisp finish. On the whole there is nothing wrong with this beer, but there not much is going on either. I think I snagged this for $0.67 for a single bottle, so there’s no way you can argue with the price.

Bought at Trader Joe’s. A dark caramel pour with minimal head and moderate carbonation visible. A nice malt flavor albeit somewhat medicinal. Well carbonated. Better than expected.

Bottle from Trader Joe’s in Fairfield, CA. Sweet carmel and molassas flavor. A little on the thin side, but overall a very drinkable brew.

Nice ruddy amber liquid with a good foam of tiny bubbles. nose is medium roasted malt. Taste is a happy nutty. Body is a bit thin. good quaffable brew.
