Frugal Joes Ordinary Beer

12oz bottle. As bland and plain as you could imagine. Nose? Light cracker malts, light caramel, stinky, stale, flat smell. Taste is the same. Minimally offensive corn, dust and stale crackers. Boring.

Pale golden with white head. Mild citrus, bread, and floral. Dull, bland,bread, & mild citrus flavours. Watery.

Bottle from Trader Joe’s. Floral aroma a bit nauseating, light cutting citrus and faint grass clippings, but the pale malt is somewhat unwholesome. Corn? Green-tinged pale yellow pour with medium-strong carbonation and a skimp-ed on white head. Crisp attack, light cardboardy bitterness with corn syrup sweetness, though the childish flavor does resolve to an acceptable, dry, bready aftertaste. Light, yet strangely non-watery body. Light citric effervescence is the saving grace here, though there’s not even enough of that for a good mark. Easy drinking, and refreshing, a least, if not exactly clean; still, I’d have another.

This beer is pretty ordinary, like the bottle describes. Clear straw yellow colour with a small white head. Lightly malted with a tiny soft twist of light bitter hops at the end. overly carbonated in my opinion.

Pours pale clear yellow with no lasting head. Smell is lightly sweet malt, honey and hay like. taste is thin, but crisp, sweet and cereal like. Mild bitterness but ends sweet. Bubbly mouthfeel with no off flavors and better than expected. Drinkable.
