It's about time to write about beer.  It's been a long while since I've done it so I may be a little out of practice.  That being the case, I'll start with what should be an easy beer, Full Sail's Session Lager.

It's a cute bottle, which is one of the reasons I like it.  It's only eleven ounces, but it comes in a twelve pack and the cost is approximately $10.  That seemed like a decent deal.  You're only getting eleven bottles, sure, even though it's a twelve pack (you know, because each bottle is missing a traditional ounce, so twelve bottles multiplied by one ounce equals twelve ounces missing) but it's not really noticeable.  Out here in Arizona some good craft beers, like Dogfish Head and Samuel Adams Imperial series to name a couple of examples, go for $10 or more for a four-pack.  So, suffice to say, I'm happy with eleven beers for ten dollars.

On to the beer.  I poured it straight down the center of a pilsner glass and it yielded a nice head.  It was very white and foamy.  The head leaves a good amount of lace on the glass.  The white collar makes a beautiful contrast with the light golden color of the body.  The bubbles frantically tried to escape the glass. 





Speaking of the body, I'd say it was light to medium.  It does have some weight on the tongue and the taste of malt.  Other Full Sail brews I've had contained a good deal of hops, but I didn't notice them in this beer.  It's a 5.1% alcohol content, which is about average.   
The brewery states that it wants to bring back pre-Prohibition beer, an easy to drink lager that is not character-compromised.  Session Lager is incredibly easy to drink, the proverbial 'lawnmower' beer (or, in my case this weekend, the 'help your brother in law take the engine out of one of the sisters in law's car' beer).  It can be consumed quickly, without thinking too much about it, and no guilt - it's not a soulless beer from one of the big beer corporations.  It's what a Budweiser type of beer should be.

Yes, the next beer will be the Stella in the picture above.
