Stroh's
Review of the 5% version brewed in Canada by Sleeman. 15 pack of 355 mL cans for about $20... Pours a pale straw yellow with a moderate foamy head that burns off after a few minutes and leaves a thin colour. Lots of visible carbonation. Very average-looking adjunct lager. Smells typical, which is to say not good. Corn syrup, a rice-like graininess and the faint smell of rubbing alcohol. The taste fares alright at first and it's got a very surprising bitter bite on the tongue. Unfortunately, after that it's all corn syrup and a slight sour astringent note. Mouthfeel is crisp and watery with practically no body. It sure goes down easy. Too easy, it makes me gassy. The wife has me on a beer budget this week and I needed something to last me a weekend. Its really no worse than most premium-priced domestics in the same vein and actually better than most comparably-priced beers. It's still pretty gross though.
