Becks

Pale yellow pour with diminishing frothy head. Hoppy aroma and grainy start leading to skunky finish. Best of the rip off ’premium’ beers found in English pubs. Which says nothing.

on tap - yellow golden beer with white head. Very unpleasent skunk aroma. Dry hops aroma.

Golden color, aroma of skunk, skunky and grassy taste that finishes crisp. Not terrible, but not particularly good either.

On tap at Yankee Stadium. Given that Bud Light seemed to be the only other option in the whole park, this was a welcome sight. Clear light golden pour with a decent bubbly/foamy white head. Grainy cereal taste; a little sweet and a bit of slightly skunky floral hops. Not bad, and refreshingly light. Good for an afternoon ballgame in the sun.
