Cheap Beer-St. Pauli Girl

While trying to find decent deals for somewhat decent beer, I discovered the local chain of convenience stores is selling St. Pauli Girl lager for $9.88 a twelve pack. At about 82¢ a bottle, it supplies a little more flavor than domestic macrolagers, and without the adjuncts. Still, the flavor is oxidized, but I seem to handle that issue alright. I generally drink my beer with food, so as long as it's cold and crisp the green bottle funk is manageable.
As a grade I'd give the beer a C+, and coupled with the value it gets a B- on the desirability scale. Not great, but the Germans get it done fairly well for this budgeting drinker.
