151 Beck's Premier Light Germany Light / Lite Lager 2.5

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

Poured yellow-gold color with little head and virtually no lace. The aroma is very faint grass and skunk but no other real aroma. The taste has faint traces of grain husks, mineral water, and grass were all I could detect. The mouthfeel is thin, spritzy, and extremely light-bodied. It doesn't feel like I'm drinking a beer at all.

152 Becks Sapphire United States Pale Lager 2.5

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

Pours a lear light golden color with lots of carbonation, and a medium to light amount of white foam and little to no lacing. The aroma is sweet and grassy, nothing particularly inviting here. The taste starts off slightly sweet but ends with a metallic flavor. Not enjoyable to me. The mouthfeel is smooth and crisp, medium bodied with nothing to complain about here and nothing particularly special either.

153 Beerlao Dark Lao Dunkel / Dark Lager 3.5

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

pours a medium brown hue, the body is clear and the head is a thick small frothy light tan foam with a good lace. The aroma is sweet, caramelly malt aroma without much in the way of hops. The taste is much like the aroma, it's a sweet, caramel malt-heavy beer. For that, the flavor seems more balanced than the aroma with a light but present bitterness toward the end. There also seems to be a very light but noticeable smokiness in the flavor which is appealing; perhaps they still kiln malt over wood fires in Laos. The mouthfeel is quite good, it's medium light body with a massive carbonation which yields alot of creaminess.

The taste is primarily malty (light and bready) with hints of sweetness as if from honey along with some grassy hops and there is a nice touch of bitterness in the finish to help balance the sweetness.
