473ml can - this appears to be Category 12's first lager release. I found that claim a little hard to believe, but I checked, and it is indeed true.
This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent splatter pattern lace around the glass as it slowly yet surely evaporates.
It smells of grainy and biscuity cereal malt, a bit of apple and pear fruitiness, lager yeast, some generic nuttiness, and very subtle earthy, leafy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery caramel malt, mixed pome fruit, oily bar-top nuts, and more leafy, herbal, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of hop acridity making a minor dent in the surface sheen at this particular point in the process. It finishes dry, the biscuity malt and fading hops running the lingering after-party.
Overall - well, for an amber lager, this certainly has a lot of robust flavour. Crisp, fresh-seeming, and quite easy to throw back, even as the weather looks like it's going to take another dip soon.
