Handwritten notes: What's with these beers?  This "Bavarian Lager" tastes more like a light Canadian Pilsner.  Calling Labatt's Blue a Pilsner is one thing.  Calling this a Bavarian Lager is another.  Wait... no, actually they're the same thing. Irregardless of all that, this beer hit the spot as a quencher and nothing else.  Good for a Saturday morning when you have a really hot shower and you get out and you're all sweaty.  And you think "dang, it's 10:00 in the morning, but I could go for a brew".
