Looks like a Milwaukee's Best can. Fallen on hard times have you? :)


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Hard times is the story of my life.

This was one of ten cans a guy gave to me. He was leaving to go back home. Actually, he was on his way to the dumpster with them when he saw me and asked me if I wanted them. I never say no to free beer.

Wow, that's a new one on me. I've spent a fair amount of time in Germany and have never came across that particular brew.

How about a review?
We were fortunate to partake in both the Augustus Dopplebock, and Riegele's Privat Festival brews - there were 12 of each available to us - over the holidays. Not that the Privat was bad, but if effort is involved in a return, only Augustus will be invited back (and we will definitely find a way to make that happen!)

Very smooth, with absolutely no fine burnt malty grit of many dopples (al a Celebrator, Salvator, or even Korbinian - all of which I like); hops on the subtle side, little to no bitter.

Slight berry hint (I got none of the 'clove / banana / citrus' NOTES people like to tout in a weizen), subtle sweetness, very mild carbonation, good with or without the noticeable sediment on the bottom of the bottle. All of this smooth betrays the fact it's 8% abv... it's a sipper for sure.

Or, as TT may say - it's beer; it' good.

There's a pot of meaty chili on the range.

This should pair just fine with that.

That it is!

Rolled out nation-wide (US) last month, I'm guessing Light-Hearted is around to provide beer like Founder's All Day IPA with some competition. It's lower than ADIPA in carbs and ABV, and tastes much better to me. At $10-11 US a six, tho, LHA is much higher in price.

I'm hoping Bell's trims pricing in the future...

If Golden is a brand name. it isn't Golden.

You'r right. It isn't very fair. It's a draft beer, so I couldn't partly reveal the label or anything. It's a very common brand. Nothing exotic.

No. Even Heineken is more exotic than this one. The brand name does not appear anywhere in the picture.
