Sampled July 2010
A soft pour from the can produces a fat, almost three-finger thick, pale, off-white colored head. The beer is a brilliantly clear, bright gold color. The aroma smells of grain with notes of dried hay, a touch of sweet barley and other grain. There is a faint, herbal hoppiness as well as a touch of green-apple character and there is a just a hint of a metallic note towards the end of the nose.
Fairly heavy bodied, considering I was expecting a lightish lager, but there is a lot of carbonation that causes a bit of excessive foaming as it rolls across the tongue. There is a sort of green-apple fruit character, or perhaps it is more like an under-ripe melon. Grassy grain character and a faintly biting hop bitterness linger in the finish along with a sweet grain note. The finish also has a touch of tin in it, though the green-apple note tends to obscure this. The beer has a soft herbal hop character to it that wouldn't seem out of place in a craft version of a macro-lager. The body almost has a creaminess to it; this definitely has quite a bit more body to it than any macro-lager.
Not bad, in fact I could even knock back one on a hot day, but the heavier body definitely limits the quaffability of this beer. Both the looks and the texture were inhibited a bit by the excited carbonation. The coolest thing about this beer is the naked can that is partially covered by what looks to be a mailing label with the brewer's info and the beer written on with a blue sharpie-pen.
