Abv is wrong on BA. It's 5% not 4.3%. A nice crisp "it's really hot outside so give me something light and refreshing" beer. Almost a pilsner but not quite. Nice biscuit taste and malts. Description says it has watermelon? I don't get any of that. Still a really solid beer - basic flavors but highly enjoyable and sessionable.

12oz can into a pint glass.
L: Pours clear dark rich butterscotch w almost no head but white edge foam, good soft steady carbo, light spotty lacing.
S: Caramelized malts, a hint of butterscotch hard candy, lightly earthy.
T: Caramelized malts, gently sweet, a hint of toffee, background brown bread, cereal grains, clean malts and is malt frwd. Has a light and latent bitter linger.
F: Very smooth, soft, buttery med-bodied feel with a fast and lightly drying finish. Nice and cushy.
O: I believe this beer shines with its incredibly soft feel and is truly a malty beer. Very good tasting and EZ drinking. Fairly simple. Malty but not overly sweet. It is very good in its style.

12oz can at Justine's at the Gunflint Lodge. Poured out a very clear, golden yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It left minimal lacing on the glass. It smelled of toffee, caramel and floral notes. Sweet caramel taste with hints of toffee and a mild citrusy kick.
