12 oz can which has a defect of some sort on the tab, since all six of these "splashed/mini-exploded" quite badly when opened. No problem passed on to the contents, but something isn't right about the hardware here. The label says the following;...
12 oz can and several draught versions on the Island from Summer 2016. Adjunct American lager like pour with some of the same attributes - poorly formed head that dissipates, urine like color, slight vegetal nose. Tastes are a bit different. Noble...
Poured from the can. Looks decent enough with the golden body and the two-finger, rocky head. Lace and retention aren't great, but out of the box it looks clean. Sweet and grainy nose. Smooth but a bit of a grainy macro feel for me. Some decent...
12 oz can, $1.99 from Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. The plain, primary color presentation of Cisco beers is attractive. Better than average head with very good lace and retention. Lightish, lemony pepper in the nose. Tastes are...
Pour is an alarmingly pale piss-water affair with the head and retention of a macro adjunct lager. No nose, and a typical grainy vegetal taste. Bit like Bud light with the colossal magnificence of the depth of that particular beer, removed....
Oh look, a REAL session beer (if the 4.0% ABV is to be believed!). Massive carbonation on the pour leads to a silly looking glass full of bubbles. This does recede quickly though (which I suppose is good in one way, i.e. it doesn't get in the way)...
12 oz metallic looking can. Thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to have a crack at this one. Any wispy head that was there on the initial pour dies really quickly above a fizzy looking, golden colored body. Pretty poor looking. No apparent nose,...
12 oz can, many thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to try this. Retro style can which is attractive - good times. Slightly hazed with a macro colored pour, the beer appears similar to a macro adjunct with perhaps a notch above in terms of color...
12 oz can thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to try this one. The latest in a huge parade of Minhas mediocrity. This time the pour gives a pretty serious initially head, but it collapses to give nothing in terms of lace or retention. Body is a...
12 oz can courtesy of Kevin - many thanks. Well, it is what is. No more, no less. Typical, light straw colored pour with perfect clarity, low carbonation and, virtually no head and zero retention and lace. Could be one of a million different macros...
12 oz can, many thanks to Kevin for the opportunity to try this one. Golden, clear, macro-like pour with a decent, fluffy head. Some retention and some attractive lace but otherwise largely unremarkable. Grainy, buttered toast on the nose with some...
12 oz single, many thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to try this beer. Pour is a well carbonated, totally clear light straw color with a huge, fluffy and sticky head. Lace is pretty good too. Color is a little light, but otherwise looks pretty...
12 oz slender contoured bottle (I seem to remember these bottles being fatter over the years, but I doubt I've drunk a Michelob in 10-15 years so I'm a bit out of touch). Pour is vivid, golden yellow with no sustainable head but some wispy lace...
11oz stubbie from Fresh Market as a part of their $8.99 mixed sixer. A recent entry to the ATL/GA market with the new wave of Full Sail beers. I like the stubbie presentation - old school and no pretence. Pour has golden (better than macro) color...
22oz bottle, from Reilley's HHI. Golden honey colored pour with a small head and a small amount of lace. Sweet nose with a mild skunkiness to it as well. Sweet malts up front with a slight cloying feel. A rather astringent bitter finish that is...
Not sure how "Caribbean" fits in with "Pilsner", but hey, there you go! 12oz single from Total Wine, Kennesaw, GA, USA. 07/08/2008 as the Best Before Date on the neck of the clear bottle. Pour is as expected; a dark orange, urine colored liquid...
Relatively new to GA (within the last few weeks), I've now managed to try this, my second of the Kona brewing beers. I actually quite enjoyed the Fire Rock Pale so I thought that I would give this one a spin. 12oz bottle purchased as a single from...
Single from Michaels. Light amber pour with a strange combo of great clarity at the bottom of the glass, but surprising cloudiness at the top. Odd. Head is scant, lace is nowhere to be seen. Mild whisky notes, very smooth, quite drinkable....
Average all around, with the aroma being the weakness. Real golden yellow pour with some decent head and some lacing. Despite the All-Malt status, lots of corn and vegetables are apparent in the nose, some skunk too, not very good at all. Tastes...
Some chill haze against the backdrop of a golden body with some scant head, a little lacing but very poor stickability. Well, this is a very, very basic macro type lager. Grain tastes and smells dominate but it is still pretty drinkable. Clean...
The only place I drink this is in Indian restaurants and it does make for a simple, heat quenching, late night accompaniment to spicy food. Itβs clean, refreshing and simple, just the kind of thing that you want to go with your hot food under these...
This is a 100% forgettable, non-descript, adjunct that has only one redeeming feature - it's no worse than many other similar beers. The standard pale yellow, instantly disappearing head reveals the usual corny, grainy aroma and taste. I would find...
An unspectacular beer that manages to do what it is supposed to do and little more. On the up side, unlike many of its counterparts, it manages to pull off a very crisp, clean feel and remains non-offensive. When I break open a bottle of...
Smashing beer. This is a simple, no nonsense refreshing lager that I really, really enjoyed. Good looking pour with a thick frothy head that had excellent retention. Exceptionally clear, golden coloration and a crispness that really caught my...
Not bad. Pretty much a standard macro look, but better than average taste and drinkability. I don't smell much, but that is not necessarily a bad thing, at least I'm not getting an overpowering alcohol or grain whiff. Pours with a slightly better...
