Lightly hazy-gold in appearance, topped with a creamy off white head.
Nose is pale and biscuit-like malts with a touch of Noble hop character at the end, very much like a Pils in profile.
Drinks and tastes much as it smells, and it would be no problem to put a few of these down. A hint of lemon rind in the hop character, and maybe a hint of oat as well, as this is a bit creamier and less astringent that the average Pils.
The can has a best before date of 01/04/2019 on its printed, wraparound label. I’m told that this is a limited release can and beer, and it was hard to find and had a price to match (don’t ask!). The can art was provided by a very hip and cutting edge Icelandic cartoonist who is absolutely new to me, but I’m sure Google can tell me. ^_^
I had this one alongside “Viking Beer”, which is a more straightforward adjunct lager down to the “pounder” can, and nothing much to crow about apart from its affordability (which at $5 a can would shock most American cheapskates).
But “Summer Balls” is a real winner, with excellent drinkability and a concept that works. Hopefully they brew it again!
