An acceptable mass-produced lager! Straw coloured with a white head and highly carbonated; full in the mouth with some bitterness and a hint of pears; a sweet aftertaste.

Bottle from Paris in Vegas. Aroma is downright putrid; wet malt and grain. Reminded me alot of Heineken. Flavor is basically the same; grainy and uninspired. A bit sweet. Just one of many in this style.

Pours pale gold with a thin white head. Grainy and grassy with a light crisp finish. Nothing horrible about this beer. I got a good bottle so it had no skunking.

Ah, 1664, while I don’t remember it too well, that was sort of the time that Europe was accomplishing nothing and armored knights rode astride trusty steeds. Well, if you’ve been sweating inside plate armor all day, this beer probably tastes pretty decent, but otherwise, they need to think the recipe a tad. Bitter.

OK, here we go with an interesting green bottle that is not typically shaped. French beer that has a pour that looks like yer typical pale yellow american beer. Initial bubbles that swirl away to a few once in a while. Has an aroma something like a light wit beir. Initial taste hit is unoffensive and palatable. Very little bitterness and it is pretty clean. I think this is better than the other premiums I’ve had, including beck’s, saranac’s and yuengling’s. Finish is good without a bitter linger.

(bottle - 12 oz) Pale and clear yellow pour with a thin and fizzy white head. Very carbonated. Light and bitter aroma with some hints of corn and a touch of something sweet. Couldn’t really identify it though. Flavor is very watery, bitter, and metallic. Loads of corn throughout. Finish is watery and sour.

draft - Pours yellow with a lightly hoppy aroma. The overall taste is quite mild with light malt and hops flavors that are balanced fairly well but weak. The body is on the thin side and the finish is crisp. I’ve had worse.

Bottle, 25cl. Pours a golden beer with a white head. The aroma is weak with notes of hops and flowers. The flavor is hops at first and later malt. The palate is weak with malt. Overall a good lawnmoverbeer.
