I was watching King of the Hill tonight. In this particular episode, Hank's beloved Alamo beer is replaced by Hi-Brau. I started thinking about this "Hi-Brau" beer and what it should taste like.
First off, it should be an economical beer. Not the cheapest in the isle, but maybe third or fourth. Like many economical beers, it should have little malt or hop flavor or aroma. The predominant flavor should be carbonation.
There should be a gimmick on the can, like "Pilsener", so people will buy it because it sounds like quality.
Thus, I give you - Hi-Brau SMASH. I think I upped the IBU's a little too much, but you can easily cut it down.
Let me know what you think!
