A slightly hoppy, yet dull lager. Very refreshing on a hot day. Only about 50 cents more than a 6 pack of Bud, definitely worth it when you take that into consideration. Tastes better for sure. Budweiser $5.49 Private Reserve $5.99 It’s a no brainer

Sure its a cheap session. But cheaper yet is PBR, I am glad it is owned by Full Sail but not worth it to drink local.

Several times have I enjoyed this beer. It’s major draw is the cheap pricetag for a middle-of-the-road light lager session beer. Full Sail should release this beer as "Sessions" lager. It’s kind of another pale lager. It’s clean and quaffable, but it has gone down hill a bit since the Weinhard plant closed in 1999. Still, if you are about cheap and middle of the road...here you go.

12 oz bottle via Roth’s. Pours a clear yellow with a small head that disappears quickly. Nose is toasted with some floral hoppiness. Taste is mild hops and malts. Clean yeast profile. Carbonation is high, body is light. Above average pale lager.

A big special thank you goes out to riversideAK for this not so local beer. pours pale yellow like any other ubiquitous pale yellow american beer. Bottle is nicely embossed, its not yer typical brown bottle with a twist off cap. Decently clean aroma, nothing offensive. On the taste buds it comes across gentle but with a hop background that makes you think this is a heavy APA or possibly even a mild IPA at first, quite interesting. I would say this possibly has more floral hops flavor in it than any other pale lager I have ever tasted. After the initial impact tho, you fade back into mild APA flavors or even toward the end of the session, you are pretty sure it’s a lager. Not bad but perhaps more than I care for in a lager and this is what probably gets it such a high, per se, percentile when compared to other pale lagers. Certainly a lager with personality. If you like APA or IPA but despise pale lagers, you should give this a try, I think you may be pleasantly surprised. Finish is pale lager but overall, this is not your typical pale lager. Alex, I owe you one!
