Comment:
I’ve never poured this one, so I’ve no clue about the color or head. I love drinking from stubbies.

As for the taste, my overwhelming reaction: it was simply refreshing. Nothing overpowering, nothing jumping out at me other than it is has a comparatively light carbonation.

Slightly bitter and bready at the same time. A bit earthy. Nice and easy to drink.

Characteristics: bitter earthy hops refreshing

A pretty easy-drinking lager, but with a lot more taste than most. It’s not amazing, but not bad at all. Also tends to be fairly inexpensive, making it an excellent option if you’re looking to save some money. Best had on a hot day.

Characteristics: light refreshing smooth

Session is always there for me. In my refrigerator, and at bars where there’s nothing but crap on tap. That little stubby bottle means I’ve got something to sip on all night that’s way tastier than your average cheap lager. Super easy to drink. Keep a case on hand at all times.

Characteristics: easy refreshing smooth tasty

First beer I actually liked. It’s SO cheep, $10 for 12! It’s a great knock about beer. As the name implies it’s great after/during/before a session of something: recording, jam, surf, therapy, etc. Refreshing and crisp.

Not the most amazingly challenging lager on the market, but always a good standby. Refreshing and inoffensive, kinda like Kevin James.

Characteristics: light refreshing smooth

Comment:
Pours clear golden, with minimal fluffy white head that quickly dissipates - some lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet, and the taste is sweet and lagery - reminds me of the beer my grandpa drank. Crisp and clean, very refreshing! Great beer for a hot day, and a nice alternative to all the weiss- and wheat beers out there

Characteristics: crisp refreshing
