Commercial Description:
The gold-colored Palmetto Charleston Lager is perhaps the company’s cleverest creation; it’s strong in flavor, crisp, with a fresh, clean finish (i.e., no lingering aftertaste), but light enough so you could drink it just about all day. Yeast and a cool fermentation are what make a lager a lager, and Palmetto’s is among the smoothest, mellowest around.

This is a good premium lager. This style may not be a favorite but this beats most that I have tasted. Aroma of corn. Highly carbonated taste of corn, sugar, metal and grass. Scoop up what you find on a barnyard floor and this is what you got. I know it doesn’t sound like it, but not bad for the style

Had this in the bottle at the Mellow Mushroom, Charleston. Golden color. aroma of corn. Smells a little green/ fresh grass. Too fizzy for me. Perfect for an AB drinker to have if they want to feel like they’re on vacation.

This is a decent little lager. This pour out golded with an average white head. Armoma is slightly sweet, slighty like corn just roasted and some grass. Taste is actually pleasing with some light grassy and hay notes. Little bit more carbonated but not too badly. Finished with a surprising little bitter but clean kick. Exceeded my expectations.

This beer does not have a lot of taste, but this is not such a bad thing. A great summer beer when you are listening to David Allan Coe and discussing the socio-political situation of Darfur.

bottle. Pours light golden with a small white head, moderately bubbly. The nose is semi-corny with sweet barley, and a papery note. The flavor is certainly crisp with tame sugar and tiny, grassy bittering notes. It’s okay, I suppose. None of the problems I usually associate with American interpretations of this style are present.

Bottle. Pours gold with white head. The aroma is honey, hay, and papaya. The flavor is papaya, grass, and white bread, with a clean finish. I was actually pleasantly surprised with this one... I was kind of expecting swill, but this is drinkable. Would make a great lawnmower beer.

Very good...my second variety of the Palmetto brews and I am impressed. A fancier lager with some sweetness and some spice. Definitely not your run of the mill Bud. Pours a gold color with little head...very good and of high quality.

Not my favorite style (lager) of beer, but much better than any American macro-crap distributed by A-B or Miller. Very drinkable beer that is smooth but no real dominant character to it. Still not bad.
