Berghoff Original Lager Beer

With the heat wave that has hit the entire country hard, especially the poor folks St Louis w/o power, it should be no huge shock that I've been in a pale yellow fizzy lager mood. And while sometimes I strike out big time (read: "Otra" for me is now synomonous with "shite"), once and a while a beer comes around that not only kills a thirst, but also a good job as just a plain tasty beer. Is this Joseph Huber beer the former -- or the later?

Well, kinda neither, to be honest -- but, at the same time, I didn't mind drinking this.

Different label that what is pictured here -- the bottle I picked up while Hi-Times has a rather sedate silver label, with forest green highlights. Reminded me of a few Germanic beers I've run across before.

Pretty typical beer here, across the board. In appearence, small, and flavor, there is very little here to really remark upon. Perhaps the mere fact that the is nothing overtly remarkable (i.e. in a negative sense) speaks well for this beer? That's certianly one school of thought. Me? I prefer to really have something better to say about a beer than "it doesn't suck". But that's neither here' nor there.

This does have a rather clean finish, and a pretty easy-as-you-please thank-you-ma'am amount of sheer drinkability. And it certianly cut some of my thirst on this very hot Summer evening in San Diego.

But while this went down just fine, it does have a certian blaise' aspect to it that doesn't really inspire much loyalty or affection for this. Kinda plain and anonymous in the end....
