Restrained aromas of banana, clove, and lemon. Hallmark yeasty effervescence and a faint nuttiness. . The flavor is of bubblegum, coriander, white wheat, and minor bitter notes with a medium body and a dry finish. Try it with a crawfish boil!

Molasses and malt tickle the taste buds with a caramel flavor that contains more body than most beers. It's hard to find this one outside of a German speaking beer garden so try it while you can!

The modification involved eliminating rice from the grain bill and elevating the alcohol content.

The Saaz hops, on the other hand, offer an earthy, piney spiciness to both the flavor and aroma of the beer, creating a delightful balance.
Urban South Paradise Park
American lagers tend to offer a much lighter body than other styles, very little (or no) bitterness, and lower ABV. There's not too much of any taste, with a balance of grain and corn flavors, and a low to medium-low hop bitterness. Craft beer drinkers will probably find the hop flavors in this one to be subdued, but certainly worth a try.
Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR)
Taste is mild to watery with some hints of Millennial hipster and cheap grains. It's not completely repulsive because it's light enough to chug, but tastes like a decidedly low quality macro. Lots of streaming bubbles and nice off white head, with a slightly sweet but faint corn taste. Your great grandfather probably bought this stuff by the case and drank it in his Lazy-Boy.
Miller Lite
Not completely terrible but not amazing by any means. Minimal head and very little lacing. There is little to no smell but taste is at least bearable. Good cheap beer for watching football or after mowing your lawn. Called the best of the mass market light beers pretty much everywhere in the Midwest but trashed by coastal elitists.

Great Western premium two-row, combined with c-15 and Dextri-Pils, give this beer a bright hue. Chinook to bitter, with late and dry additions of Citra and Amarillo with a sweetness of hop flavors.

Eventually replaced by Amarillo hops.
CIgar City Jai Alai IPA

It is characterized by a subtle caramel sweetness, slight apple/pear-like esters, and flavors of cattiness and fruitiness, reminiscent of grapes. The hop aroma is more dank, resiny, and pine-like, rather than citrusy.
Blue Moon Belgian-Style Wheat Ale
Also known as Belgian Moon in Alberta and British Columbia, this beer features a subtle aroma of wheat, coriander, and a touch of hop spice, complemented by a hint of sweetness. It showcases dominant flavors of coriander and pepper, balanced with a moderate level of sweetness and a strong bitter finish. Notably, a higher hop bitterness compared to the typical style.

Miller High Life
Known as the Champagne of Beers (mostly for the high amount of carbonation), High Life is a trailer park favorite, non-offensive American lager with flavors of corn, grass clippings and small drinking budgets. Always drink in a bottle or glass to avoid odd after taste.
Coors
A perfect beer for beer drinkers that don't like the taste of beer. There is no hint of hop bitterness, which certainly isn’t ideal for the style. Very little evidence of other grains either. Your grandfather will confirm, this beer tasted better in the 70s.
Budweiser
The industry standard for mass production American lagers, don't be fooled into thinking this is anything like the original Czech Republic beer Anheuser-Busch has tried to lawyer into nothingness for 112 years. Highly carbonated, thin, watery, beer flavored soda water built for mass consumption.
Bud Light
Moderately sweet with a light flavor profile of cheaper American-variety hops, malts, and rice. Easy to drink without the hassle of having much taste. A good pour but should be classified as a seltzer. Lets be honest, if you like Bud Light, you aren't here for the details.
Pilsner Urquell
The texture is silky and vibrant, featuring a balanced carbonation and delicate notes of sugary malts and doughy biscuits. A zesty hop profile lingers until the crisp, refreshing finale.

A better option than Bud Light if you wish you could find thirst quenching water that gives you a buzz.

It delights the palate with a short and subtle bitter finish, resulting in a remarkably clean taste.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this beer ice cold to fully appreciate its unique qualities. (We serve it at 32°)
Stella Artois
This Euro Pale Lager has a lovely golden hue, complemented by a thin, white head. The flavor profile is reminiscent of a subtly refined German Pilsner, with a delightful balance of malt and hops, and the Saaz hops shining through nicely. Fairly impressive for a beer from a Giant Corporation.
Shiner Bock
Brewed with rich roasted barley malt and German specialty hops, this lightly hopped American-style dark lager always goes down easy. If you're looking for a widely available alternative to big beer companies in the US (You know the one), and want to steer clear of the bitterness often found in craft bock brews, this is an excellent option. A required selection for UT and Texas A&M graduates as well as Gen Xers that love to tell you how great Austin used to be.
Corona Extra
A crisp pale straw lager that’s not overly complex, with sweet notes and a bit of hoppy skunkiness on the palate that places it squarely between mass-produced light American lagers and heavier beers from Europe. (BTW, the lime stays on top to keep the flies out... doofus)

Amstel is an pilsner style lager beer, made from 100% Greek barley. It has a characteristic full-body taste, which results from the combination of light and dark barley malt with a hint of grassy hops. Some might say the balance is off, leaning "too sweet" for a pilsner, your mileage may vary.
