650ml bottle - 'Classic | Refreshing | Bright'. Wow, it sounds so enticing!
This beer pours a clear, bright (yup) pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky eggshell white head, which leaves some decent thick spiderweb pattern lace around the glass as it quickly books it outta town.
It smells of grainy and bready cereal malt, a bit of lemon rind fruitiness, faint notes of gasohol, and some mild earthy, leafy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a hint of generic citrus peel, some subtle estery lager yeast, ethereal petrol fumes, and more musty, grassy, and wet hay-like hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time here. It finishes trending dry, the old-school hops closing up shop so they can get home to their kids at a reasonable hour.
Overall - this comes across as a well-made version of the style, one strangely eschewing the expected Saaz varietal for two German ones, which do a good job of aping the characteristics of the former. Anyways, I don't know how classic this is, but it is indeed refreshing and bright, so 2 out of 3 ain't bad, at least in terms of marketing, amirite?
