Schell's Deer Brand Beer

For a while this variety was simply called the "original", but as part of the 150th Anniversary festivities they switched back to the original name and logo. Deer Brand is a Pilsner style lager. the first taste put me in mind of some of the great European lagers like Heineken, with that sharp hoppy aftertaste. Deer Brand poured a translucent golden hue with a fast dissipating white head. Plenty of carbonation and so clear that you could read a newspaper through it. Not a lot going on, but a good solid session beer that would go well after a hot day of gardening.
