Can from Kroger in November. Pours clear pale color with an average frothy white head that diminished quickly with minimal lacing. Moderate sweet grainy aroma. Medium body and soft carbonation. Light to medium sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. I would not recommend either of the D.B. Hobbs beers to a freind.

Can from Ralphs. Light golden in color. Sweet corn aroma. Very sweet aroma. Grain and malts dominate the flavor. A hint of bitterness. Not the worst pale lager out there. Not too good either.

12oz Can - Gravity Room - Olympia, WA
Aroma – Lager aroma with lots of malt and very little hops.
Appearance – Golden yellow color, clear and a nice head.
Flavor – This was a light malt flavor with very little hops for flavoring. This was a simple drinking beer.
Palate – Decent Mouthfeel, a good dry finish.
Overall – Not sure what others want from this it was a light lager beer had little flavor but great for a hot day working in the yard. It is a simple mass produced beer for the rednecks in our world.

12 pack of cans with NachlamSie. Pours a clear yellow with just a touch of a green hue and a reasonable white head. The aroma is faint buy slightly sweet and grassy, maybe even a touch of fruitiness. The flavor is pretty weak, but isn’t offensive at all. Some mild malty sweetness, some twang from the carbonation, and a faint touch of papery hops. I’m surprised once in a while by a faint yeasty banana note. This isn’t a well-made beer by any means, but it’s actually drinkable, and combined with the extreme cheapness ($5.99 for 12 at Kroger) I’ll probably end up buying it again.
