Brewer’s Blurb:
The quality, care and dedication that goes into Crown Lager is evident from the first sip.

Crown Lager has a bright golden appearance with a solid creamy head. The fruity aroma leads to a malty refreshing taste with a smooth, full bodied finish. The slightly lingering bitterness gives a balanced, rounded experience which will leave you wanting more.

Michael’s Notes:
Very refreshing, probably due to the heat, enough to buy a second one. This beer reminded me of when I ordered a Kronenbourg 1669 on a hot summer day while on vacation. It was incredible, and I thought to myself, "this is the perfect liquid one should consume while writing postcards after having visited ancient ruins in 34 degree heat". Some time later I ordered another one and it tasted like pissy water. This convinced me that all beers can taste great provided you're in the right conditions. I'm not sure if this beer falls into that category, as it was a very hot day. I guess I just need to order another one under different conditions and see if it's just as enjoyable.
