Commercial Description:
Introducing: SCHWAG! Our deliciously cheap light lager That's right, we have concocted a lager that is easy to drink and easy on the wallet. 5% alc./vol. 10 ibus and 100% malt. It's locally made, none of those nasty rice and corn fillers, and great for social nights on the town. Schwag, deliciously cheap.

Really not that bad, good cereal and caramel flavors to the malts, clean with a balanced bitter finish. Still the same price as other micro pints so they aren’t really going to pick up the people looking for a cheap pint, but might pick up some of the BMC drinkers.

Tap @ M&P. Cheap and easy to drink. Tastes like a slightly better Natty Light. Not bad, but nothing special.

Draught at Green Dragon. Poured pale gold with medium white head. Hoppy aroma with a bit of grassiness. Smellid like a good helles. Tasted like a good helles. Malty with none of the kak of the industrial lagers. Clean finish

A pretty decent lager though not my favorite. Kind of like if Busch was done right or something.

On tap at Tigi in NE Portland, Oregon--Poured a muddled yet thin burnt sienna-golden hue. Small whie head on top. Lighter than most light lagers. Nose of gritty malts and faint spicy hops. Creamy, bready flavor with a light and thin finish. Very nice for the style and quite affordable.
