355ml can - always glad to be the gangster who first reviews this stuff, when it's been out on the market for over a god damned month, eh?
This beer pours a clear, medium golden amber colour (this is a lager?), with two zaftig fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky ecru head, which leaves a bit of melting iceberg lace around the glass as it quickly abates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a bit of locker room yeasty funkiness (take that, sour-heads!), muddled and wan light orchard fruity notes, and very tame earthy, leafy, and weedy green hop bitters. The taste is crackery and musty pale malt, a very weak caramel thing, some hard to parse citrusy and apple/pear fruitiness, a suggestion of estery lager yeast, and more generic leafy, earthy, weedy, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly dense, via its very involved frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and more or less smooth, nothing really taking any toll here, to this imbiber's great surprise. It finishes well off-dry, the biscuity caramel malt doing well to persist among the pretenders.
Overall, this is certainly a headier, and more fully-rounded version of the generic style, but in the end, it comes off as kind of plain, but generally agreeable, in its malt-forward nature. Yeah, I'm also getting bored re-reading what I just wrote.
