Bomber from the brewery; no date and served barely chilled. As a kid in the early 90s, I'd catch glimpses of this program early Saturday morning before hockey practice - usually before switching to another channel. Ouch, burn, take that, children's game show from over thirty years ago.

Pours a brilliantly clear, brassy golden colour, capped with nearly a finger of loose, soapy white head. It fizzles off within a minute or two, reduced to a thin collar and some filmy wisps on the surface, with lots of messy lace deposited after each sip. Bready, biscuity malts on the nose, with hints of honey sweetness as well as grassy hay & apples.

It's alright - I'm tasting bready pale malts, grains and light fruitiness, e.g. red apples and canned peaches. Suggestions of grassy hay and a vinous quality on the back end, with an aftertaste of biscuity, doughy malt sweetness that fades, leaving only a faint grassiness behind. Light in body, with low carbonation that results in a relatively flat, slick, smooth mouthfeel that I didn't find especially appealing. Great drinkability, in that this bomber was pretty easy to polish off.

Final Grade: 3.57, a B grade. Kidstreet didn't do much for me back in the day, which I guess makes Kidstreet Clap an appropriate tribute. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing egregiously wrong with this beer, other than maybe the limp mouthfeel. This is a difficult style to nail, and I just don't think this one rises much above average.
