This is a simple Dutch style Pilsner that I'm able to get at $6.29 for a six-pack of 16 oz. tall boys. The chain specialty grocery I get these used to sell them at $5.99, but like with any product these days, prices are creeping up. Still, $1.05 a can, or about 7¢ an ounce is still pretty decent, about the same for what St. Pauli Girl's going for. The beer is an improvement over the German lager which I'd credit to the non-lightstruck beer inside the aluminum can, but it also seems to taste more full-bodied. I give this beer a solid B. Bear in mind, these are grades relative to cheap beer. Throw these up against a fresh, local micro brew and the curve affects greatly. So, a C would be more like low D. Not the greatest system, but maybe I'll refine when I've covered enough beers.
