From Carrefour. In Teku glass. At lunch, after taking kids to the recently reopened duck's park. With stars soup + nuggets. Not watery feel in spite of its ultra-transparent aspect. Natural and well adjusted lemon, with even a citrusy touch more proper of hops than lemon.No out of place flavors. And all gluten-free!

330ml bottle, a fortunate (I suppose) single find at a Jasper Avenue 'international beer destination'. It pays to look around, I guess.

This beer pours a clear, super pale straw colour, with one finger of frothy, puffy, and lazily bubbly off-white head, which leaves zilch in the way of lace around the glass as it quickly bleeds away.

It smells of fairly sweet, chemical-laden fake lemon-lime, breakfast cereal graininess, and a clammy saccharine essence. The taste is super-sweet corn-like graininess (the millet, I guess, in the role of the non-barley malt), rather underwhelming musty lemonade and lime Kool-Aid astringency, with a purely sugar-laden underlying character that cannot be overcome, it would seem.

The carbonation is mostly dead and done as far as I can tell, the body a sickly medium weight, as a cloying, pithy sugary essence predominates, making for a pretty innocuous, and unpleasant finish. How such a watered-down offering can claim any sort of accomplishment is beyond me.

Easy to drink, in the end, I suppose, but that has little bearing on the overall flavour of this soda-pop wannabe - the mirror world lemon just makes this taste like Sprite made a cheap-ass version of a (sadly) typical gluten-free offering. A cover-up, where the cure is barely more palatable than the cause. Once again, avoid with moderate prejudice, no matter what sort your dietary restriction may be.
