Canned beer has made a serious return in the craft brewing world. Prior to this resurgence, the only beer found in cans were industrial lagers. So as a nod in both directions we present an elegantly crisp and hoppy new world lager. The light and refreshing pilsner malt body delivers an abundance of floral, spice, and grass driven hop flavors and aroma. Perfect for those luxurious cruises through the Caribbean.

For my next entry in New More Odds 'n' Sods Beer Sunday (Week 780), I am returning to the DelMarVa (+ DC) debacle & my old friend, Stillwater. I still have a number of DuClaw & some Keys before I totally close the book, but I was starting to get bogged down to the point of taking a break. This seems like a nice add to The CANQuest (tm) while helping to reduce the backlog.
From the CAN: "Dry-Hopped Session Lager"; " ;7 Contemporary Works by Stillwater"
Works for me! I Crack!ed open the vent & beCAN a slow, gentle, C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass. Man, did this one ever want to foam up! I wound up with two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, bone-white head with great retention. Color was a gorgeous Yellow-Gold (SRM = 4 - 5) with NE-quality clarity, like liquid sunshine in my glass on an overcast, rainy Sunday in early-Febrewary. It also caused The Gelt Gang of Mammon, Midas & Croesus to jump up from my couch, where they were watching the Pens/Caps pregame on my telly, to join me in the kitchen for a taste. Nose was royally hoppy! 8=O I was pleasantly surprised even as it caused me to sneeze in response. Mouthfeel was medium, good for a Lager of any stripe. The taste was quite hoppy & bitter, which was fine for me, but totally out of whack for the style. 8=( From this site's Style Guide: "The hop character is low and should only balance with no signs of flavor or aroma. … For the most part, this style has the least amount of flavor than any other style of beer." Aarrgh! I have no choice to mark it down when reviewing to style & in this case, it pains me. This was as crisp & hoppy as a Pilsner, really tasty & quite refreshing. Finish remained crisp, dry & hoppy. It actually scratched an itch for me, but this was no Miller Lite/Bud Light/Coors Light. I would definitely want this in my beach-bound Summer Cooler! YMMV.

Picked it up for a buck on the weekly run. Strong citrus smell with a hint of malt behind it. Taste is crisp with nice carbonation. Floral with a hoppy finish. Very nice mouth feel. Amazingly light and easy to drink but the carbonation and flavor fill the mouth and nose. Overall surprised by how solid this is as a session lager. Light enough to throw back a few but won’t water you down.

Excellent light beer. Malty and a little sweet with decent fizz. Goes down easy. Give it a try.

Appearance: Pours clear and golden colored with a prodigious head; good retention and the lacing coats the glass
Smell: Grain, grass and sulfur
Taste: A lot of sulfur on the palate from start to finish; grainy and grassy, otherwise
Mouthfeel: Light body with moderate to high carbonation
Overall: Rather disappointed by the sulfuric dominance here
