Ok, let’s just cut right to the chase. bigflatslager_W Since the vast majority of this blog’s readers are beer geeks, I can’t recommend Big Flats lager, the new-ish Walgreens house brand by Brewmaster’s Choice of Rochester, NY (North American Breweries AKA the Genesee brewery). If you’re looking for a adjunct (meaning brewed with fermentables such as corn and/or rice instead of being all-malt) lager, a beer lover can do a lot better. That said, Big Flats is probably the best $2.99 a six-pack lager you’ll be able to find. I’ll dispense with the formal tasting notes and just list some impressions. There was a small amount of citrus hop notes in the beer’s aroma, which I thought was surprising. Not surprising were notes of cracked corn in the aroma. The beer poured a very pale yellow (think SRM of 1-ish) with a tall white head. The lager’s flavor was very, very light with some malt flavors that were able to be discerned through dominant notes of cracked corn. There were some overt hints of melon – almost a light watermelon – that showed at mid tongue. Hop flavor was almost non-existent. Marginally acceptable was the carbonation level of Big Flats. It was very prickly on the tongue and seemed a tad overdone. Overall, this beer is drinkable, especially at colder temperatures, and might even be decent after a lawn mowing session. However, Big Flats will never be mistaken for some of the better adjunct lagers that are out there. But, for $2.99, what do you expect? Big Flats was purchased at Walgreens Pierce Street location in Sioux City.

I've seen it at Walgreens and a coworker tried it and said it's nasty...

Any beer that's this pale a color is bound to be horrible...
