1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
5/6/13. 16oz can from Beaches in Destin. Clear golden pour with a small off-white head that’s gone immediately. Butter, apples, and salty ketchup all over this bad boy with sprinkles of black tea. Ugh. This is awful.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Can from total wine McLean. I’ll resist the easy if this is Cains Finest lager then they need to fuck off to say instead it could be a lot worse. Pours golden with a thin white head. Has a bit of fruitiness on the nose that carries on to the tongue. Finishes clean. Solid.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(440ml dated 8-23-12 thanks to bu11zeye) clear gold with soda like white lasting bubbles. Nose of light grain, raisin. Tastes like a lager, light grain, bit earthy, cream, a good lager (but I don’t really care for them) with light hops on the finish.

Cheap and cheerful. Neither good nor bad pint, a little unremarkable really. Slightly sweet flavour.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Rich honey and toffee nose. Hazy amber, fine floaties, medium head with poor retention. Toffee on the front, more of a sweet grassy hay on the back. Obvious quality British malts. I found this bottle in my car. How it got there is a bit of a mystery to me. It must have been there for months. I expected this to be awful, but I thoroughly enjoed it. Excellent!
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours hazy gold from a 14.9 oz. can. Small white head that sticks around for a while. Sweet malt and a little hop aroma. Slightly bitter with lemon on the first drink but mellows out thereafter. Smooth lingering finish. This would make a decent session beer.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 5/20
5.0% hazy gold colour with a thin head, low in aroma, unlager like fruity taste.
1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
I got a can of this in Tokyo. Not my finest day. Sort of overly malty and oxidized. Smells gross. Don’t drink this in Tokyo.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
14.9 oz can purchased at Royal in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a mostly clear golden with a slight tangerine orange to it. Egg white head is lasting, coats the glass with nice lace. The aroma is mildly sweet malt grains, a hint of toast and faint grass in the back. The taste is straight forward lightly sweet cereal grain, along with a drying grass to the finish. As it warms, a touch of herbal is added to the sweetness. The palate is light to medium bodied, active carbonation, and the dry finish. Simple, though clean and fresh tasting. Easy drinking beer.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
440ml can pours a pale straw color with a small white head that leaves a few spots of lacing. Aroma is predominantly hay and grass with a hint of cereal grains. Taste is a grassy bitterness with a mild malty sweetness. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Only a slight bit better than your typical macro lager.
