Cisco Brewers and OCEARCH have teamed up to produce a beer which will benefit research and education on Apex predators of the ocean while inspiring fascination rather than fear.
Last year OCEARCH was invited to speak on Nantucket and the interest that ensued by both locals and tourists was unbelievable.
The first steps were deciding on the beer, then the package and then the bait to get people to bite at retail. After sampling several styles of beer, the consensus was that a light lager would be best. Something you could enjoy on a boat or the beach, while fishing with your buddies. Samples of 4 styles of beer were shipped out to the key decision makers.
Cisco brought on HP's Aurasma software who will be powering the can. Through augmented reality, each can of Shark Tracker will allow the consumer to scan the logo on the can after downloading the OCEARCH Shark tracker app.
Updates from the OCEARCH crew and exclusive video content as well as shark locations can all be viewed through your phone.
The first round of the these cans are already committed and retailers should see them throughout Mass in July & just in time for Shark Week in August. "Fisch"and Berger of OCEARCH along with Jay Harman of Cisco Brewers see global potential for this brand and are already working on an international & multilingual can that can be distributed as OCEARCH plans their next expedition.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear straw color with a tiny head of fizzy white foam. The head fades very fast leaving just a trace of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is super light with just a hint of grain and a bit of corn and caramel.
Taste – The taste is very light as well, with a light caramel and grainy backbone flavor mixed with notes of lemon and paper. As the taste advances the paper gets a bit stronger while the grain fades a touch. Some hay comes on at the end, leaving one with a dry and crisp taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body is very light with a moderate carbonation level. A higher carbonation would have been a bit more fitting, matching the crisp nature a bit better.
Overall – OK light beer, but nothing too special.

Nice light deck or beach beer. Should have more flavor for the ABV, tastes like a 3.2 beer

Not sure why so many bad ratings? Not the best lager I’ve ever had, but not horrible either. I’d enjoy several of these on a hot summer day.

4.8% and almost 150 calories doesn't seem too light to me but that's fine with me. This is a very nice American style pale lager.
