355ml can, another resident of the current Summer mixed-pack.

This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some burbling cauldron profile lace around the glass as it slowly but surely melts away.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, white crackers, some faint musty honey, subtle earthy yeasty notes, and some ethereal leafy, herbal, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, watery honey, a still extant lager yeastiness, faint pome fruity notes, and more seriously underwhelming earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, I guess, as there's nothing really going on here that might cause any sort of fuss, as such. It finishes off-dry, the wan malt meekly limping out the back door.

Overall - I know that Tree is going for 'easy Summer drinking' with these offerings, but man, it also seems like they're just phoning it in, flavour-wise. The honey essence is so hard to pin down, I'm not sure that it's even actually present. Yup, just another brew to pound back around the firepit, backyard or otherwise.
