Hacker-Pschorr Munich Gold
Beer-a-Day #153
In Bavaria, where beer is an art form to some and a religion to the rest, Hacker-Pschorr Munich Gold is recognized as the benchmark of the lager style. The Hacker-Pschorr Brewery is known as Bavaria’s Heaven – “Himmel der Bayern.” Hacker-Pschorr’s Munich Gold represents the real thing from one of the oldest breweries in Munich.
Gold was the first Hacker-Pschorr beer exported to the U.S. starting in 1865 and was honored with an award at the International Exhibit in 1876 in Philadelphia.
Pale yellow, with an off-white head. Aroma is light. Taste is also light, with a little nuttiness. Good.
Hacker-Pschorr (German)

Victory Lager

Beer-a-Day #339 Perfectly balanced, this authentic version of a German helles-style lager satisfies gloriously. Lean, German malts and fine European hops offer subtle harmony. Pale straw; white head. Odor is light with a bit of grain. Taste is light with some floral essence. A good session beer. Victory Lager submit_url = ‘http://hop-talk.com/2009/12/05/victory-lager/’; Related Posts:Victory St.
Saranac Adirondack Lager

Beer-a-Day #330 Our classic German lager has a perfect balance of caramel malt sweetness. Look for a rich, amber color and medium body. Pale amber with an off-white head; small bubbles. Slight earthy and peppery aroma. A little toastiness in the taste.

Beer-a-Day #329 A Bavarian black beer with distinctive carmel [sic] malt sweetness and rich creamy trademark head. Flavorful, yet smooth; it is very drinkable! Deep, dark brown with reddish-orange highlights. Caramel and malty. Fairly malty but not overly so, with more carbonation than I expected. Pretty good.

Beck’s Premium Light

Beer-a-Day #243 This light pilsner has the taste signature of a Beck’s, with a calorie count that’s as refreshing as the beer itself. You’ll find a crisp, light experience that lives up to the Beck’s name and reputation in every bottle. It’s taste you can count on, even if you’re not counting calories. Oh my
Beck’s Dark

Beer-a-Day #240 Don’t let the deep copper color fool you. This isn’t the dark ale you’d expect. This is a special bottom-fermented lager that lives up to Beck’s quality standards. It gets it color from a unique roasting of the barley malt. It refreshes like the true lager beer it is. And its rich, smooth taste

Beer-a-Day #238 We’re not saying that you have multiple personalities. Or voices in your head. At Dundee Brewing Company, we understand that one day you feel one way and the next you feel a little different. When you’re in the mood for something different, Dundee Honey Brown is the perfect choice. It’s different because we
Michelob Lager

Beer-a-Day #207 Michelob used to be the upscale brand in the Anheuser-Busch stable. No yelling former athletes, no snarky comedians, no scantilly-clad women. I do recall one commercial featured Eric Clapton doing a redone version of “After Midnight“. Then it seemed to be mostly neglected, with A-B tinkering with the formula, only restoring Michelob to
Brooklyn Lager…in cans!

Beer-a-Day #170 So, I was at my preferred retailer the other day, buying up another batch beer I’ve never had before, when I spotted something I never expected to see. Cans of Brooklyn beer. Get out! When did this happen?! Why wasn’t I informed? Too bad the cans are black. You’d think they would have

Beer-a-Day #168 Uh-oh, it’s in a green bottle. Oh good, it’s not from Europe. Oh wait, it’s from New Zealand, which is even farther away. And then they go and mock American Football right there on the label. They’re not exactly endearing themselves to me, and I haven’t even opened the bottle. Once opened, the
