500ml can, day 7 of the Costco Canada 2014 Beer Advent calendar. 'Germania Premium Strong' sounds like one of the many discarded platform slogans of a certain political party of the past century.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, densely foamy, and sort of bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some randomly stacked layers of tiered cake lace around the glass as it quickly beats it outta there.
It smells of sweet, grainy and doughy pale malt, apple and pear syrup, a bit of musty yeast, tame earthy, weedy hops, and a sidling metallic alcohol astringency. The taste is more of the same - gritty, grainy pale malt sweetness, the suggestion of a corn mush crutch, indistinct light orchard fruitiness, and leafy, floral, and certainly (cheap) perfumed hops.
The bubbles are fairly innocuous in their plain frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, but a tad clammy in its otherwise quotidian smoothness. It finishes on the sweet side, the mixed, but still apparently Reinheitsgebot-worthy malt tangling with the meek Frankenstein booziness of its own creation.
Well, a sight better than many other examples of this glossed-over Euro version of the venerable malt liquor that I've tried - Bavaria Extreme coming most recently to mind. Anyways, actually drinkable, if not all that engaging, that is until the near 16-proof warmth starts in on my hardly underappreciated cockles.
