The first beer of my official summer holidays, so it was welcome. It's bready, frothy, and light in colour. The active carbonation and nice malt base help set it apart from the blahs of macro brews. Clearly aimed at a demographic, but brewed by folks who know what they are doing.

355ml can, part of Tree Brewing's 2016 'Season Pass' mixed pack - funny, I just yesterday went for an off-pavement bike ride, my first in a number of years, and yeah, today my nether regions could surely use some, um, 'rehydration'.
This beer pours a crystal clear, very pale golden straw colour, with three fat-ass fingers of puffy, chunky, and sort of caked off-white head, which leaves some layered cirrus cloud lace around the glass as it slowly and lazily fades away.
It smells of grainy and slightly doughy pale malt, a suggestion of gently spicy yeast, mixed light orchard fruit notes, a subtle earthy chalkiness, and plain leafy, weedy, and dead grassy hops. The taste is gritty and bready pale malt, a further disjointed graininess, ethereal white and black pepper mill dust, and more leafy, weedy, and sort of spicy hop bitterness.
The bubbles are fairly active in their palate-teasing frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and more or less smooth, with a tame gassy creaminess kicking off almost right from the get-go. It finishes on the sweet side, moderated only by a lingering generic green grassy hoppiness.
Overall, an earnestly rendered, if kind of underwhelming version of the style - and not too different in comparative metrics when considering its lager stablemate. Yeah, yours truly is impressed when a basic lager comes across like this, and bored when it appears in a Kölsch guise - dem's the breaks, I guess.
