Straw yellow in appearance with a wispy, quick fading head. Not promising. Smells faintly of lemon/citrus; somewhat similar to candy cigarettes. Really doesn't smell of anything else, not much here.

Taste is sweet/aldehyde; perhaps green applely/candy. Corn is present?

Mouthfeel is vacant, vapid, thin, estery. Just not good

Like American Malt liquors, drink this one cold or you will regret it. Absolutely horrible, Nothing redeeming about this beer.

I'm struggling to finish one.

355ml single can, procured at a random Sobeys liquor store. Not a lot of info about this offering traipsing about the Internets, that's for sure.

This beer pours a crystal clear, medium pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, frothy, and loosely foamy off-white head, which leaves but a few specks of distant star dot lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.

It smells of crisp, crackery pale grainy malt, sour apple skin, stale lemon rind, muted black pepper, a hard to overlook acetone astringency, and bland earthy, leafy hops. The taste is thankfully a whole lot simpler - semi-sweet pale malt, warm applesauce, pleasantly innocuous plastic alcohol notes, and very timid earthy, weedy hops.

The carbonation is a bit peppy, but generally soft and unobtrusive, the body a decent medium weight, pithily smooth, and even a tad creamy, in a fruity sense. It finishes well off-dry, the pale malt still quite fruity in its bearing, and the upticked alcohol mulling about.

An average to below average offering for the style, for which I was perhaps a bit generous in bequeathing to this offering. Much more like the icebeers of yore in our country, i.e. sweeter and boozier versions of the base adjunct flagship lager. So, here, for interest's sake, what would that lager be?
