Beer of the Week: James Boag's Premium Lager

Beer score: 4.1

Company: J. Boag & Son Brewing
ABV: 4.6
IBU: NA

This one comes to us from Tasmania, an island in Australia, and it's proof that the world beyond America also has plenty of mediocre beers.

Pours a pale golden color. Gives off scents of slight sweetness and some skunkiness.

And in drinking, that skunkiness is even stronger. You can maybe taste some corn and cereal with a touch of bitterness.

Very basic.

Those who like cheap, premium American brews might enjoy this. The rest of us can drink it, but we're underwhelmed. At least it isn't nasty, so it doesn't completely suck, and it's wet.
