Beck's Beer

Pros: Crisp biscuity malt, very drinkable, some nice grassy hop notes.
Cons: The green glass ruins all of that.

Many moons ago, before I became a true Bruguru, I used to drink Beck’s beer. Mind you, we’re taLking some 23 years ago, but back in those glory days of my youth I would consume cases of Beck’s and ...

Pros: Nice hoppy flavour
Cons: Pale looking

Once again while driving home I stopped at my local 7/11 and picked up an oversized brew. This time it was Beck's in a 24 oz bottle. The green colour bottle with the silver foil neck and red print makes it stand out in the fridge section. ...

Pros: Smooth, Not Very Filling
Cons: Skunky Aroma; Too Light

Beck's is a popular imported beer from Bremen Germany, brewed by the Brauerei Beck brewing Company. It is brewed in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516, which means it contains only barley malt, hops, yeast, and water. Nothing more, nothing...

Pros: Light, refreshing, inexpensive for an import.
Cons: None I can think of.

Wow! This is great stuff. Light and bright, it goes down and goes down, and keeps going down.

I first bought this beer on a weekday evening. Though, as usual, I had to get up at five a.m., and was looking at a particularly...

Pros: drinkable after mowing the lawn
Cons: It might smell like the lawn you just mowed

I can remember a time when serving Beck’s Beer would have been a big deal. There would have been those who felt you were going all out for their guests. This was, after all, a great German beer. It cost more money and it was imported so it ...

Pros: Readily available, crisp and refreshing
Cons: Could use a little more character

How important is beer? In particular, how important is Beck's beer? The answer: it is hugely important. Some may disagree and say that other brands are more important but they'd be wrong. Have a look in any off-sales or pub and you'll always find bottles ...

Pros: Sharp, fizzy, well-hopped, good balance
Cons: Predictable and higher priced.

Anyone who drinks beer (and even many who don’t) knows the name Beck’s. It’s an undisputable heavyweight in the industry having been brewed since 1873 and sold in 120 countries. It is in fact Germany’s most popular brand of exported beer, and the only...

Pros: Price; Decent body and taste -- not too harsh for those bred on American brews.
Cons: There are much, much better German imports out there.

I'm not the type to rush out and bash mass-produced American beers. Hey, I've enjoyed a few of those in my time, and will enjoy more in the future. Those are fine beers for getting together with a pack of friends while watching the Superbowl or cooking...

Pros: Pleasant fruitiness, refreshing
Cons: A little light, unadventurous

Those of you who've read my other reviews know I'm more of an ale drinker than a lager drinker, but I'm always happy to try new beers. From visits to Germany I remembered their Pilsners being better than many a lager so I thought I'd give Beck's a try....

Pros: good quality, no bitter after-taste, a 'pure' Reinheitsgebort beer with no artificial fillers
Cons: not cheap, not always easy to find

Part of my fat-free, cholesterol-free diet! If you like Heineken or some of the other widely distributed import beers, take a break from your routine and try this classic beer from Bremen. Grab a fresh bottle (all bottles are freshness dated, so be...

Pros: Light malt and good mouth feel
Cons: Too light for a dark beer

This review is not of the normal Beck's Beer, this is a review of Beck's Dark. Hopefully when a category for this beer is added this review will be moved...

Over the last few months as the rainy season has well and truly settled into...

Pros: Nice porter middle
Cons: none

NOTE: This is a review of Beck's Dark, not the regular Beck's. When a category becomes available for Beck's Dark, this review will be transferred.

My first sampling of Beck's Dark came the best way possible: free, delivered by a...

Pros: Excellent alternative to domestic.
Cons: I like it so much I could get really fat

PSSSSSssssssshhhhhtttttttt. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.. That's exactly what you will hear every time someone cracks a Becks Beer. This is my favorite imported beer by far. To me the slightly bitter taste is very exciting on my palate, whereas most people do not...

Pros: Nice bottle
Cons: Flat beer that may improve your septic tank

I just purchased a twelve pack of Beck's Dark at my local grocery store. Good thing it was a twelve pack! So far, I've poured two of the four bottles I've opened down the drain.

The first bottle didn't snap, crackle or pop when I removed...

Pros: Nice clean crisp refreshing beer, easy to drink, and enjoyed by most.
Cons: Not particularly interesting. Could use a little more hops in the brewing.

After almost a month away from home at a dry construction camp, I rewarded myself with a dozen different beers when I returned. What a wonderful sight: I think that I'll start with the Becks.
