A- This brew pours a golden color that reminds me more of urine when one is dehydrated.....the head, well it starts off about a finger in thickness, is fizzy, loud and disappears about as quickly as it forms....what is left is half ring around the top of the liquid....there is no lacing, but rather an oily film that sticks to the side of the glass. Carbonation looks to be reasonable enough I suppose but the columns that have formed are rising quickly. Overall, this is looks like typical Big Rock fare....
S- Better than I guessed it would smell like initially, however, this isn't really good. Lots of adjunct, such as boiled corn, dry grain, Diacetyl like butter/butterscotch sweetness, grassy must and not much else....the finish is almost non existent. Disappointing in the fact that it smells just like an AAL.....
T- This is probably, to date, the worst tasting Big Rock product I have had.....bland bland bland is the best description of this beer.....boiled corn sweetness, boiled rice cleanliness....too clean for my tastes! Dry dusty grains, brown dirty grass and stale bread all come to mind when attempting to figure out the flavor profile here.....just so plain....I feel like this is just a step above carbonated water.....blah!
M/O- Thin bodied, aggressive carbonation and low enjoyability all contribute to an unsurprisingly effort put forth once again by Big Rock. Does this brewery not even want to try any longer?....I could homebrew something better from a can of malt extract from Superstore! I traded another bottle of this swill to my buddy for a can of his Lucky Lager....I won that deal and he agreed! I've had Kolsch beer before and this is nowhere near that....this competes with the BCM lite lineups but it's twice the price. Pass!!

473 ml tall boy can, available as a single.
This beer pours a clear, bright yellow color, with a fluffy, white head. Foam is more fizz, minimal lace (just some bubbles) on the glass, quickly recedes.
It smells of some grains, and some citrus, touch of yeast.
The taste is grainy malt, cracker, some leafy hops at the end.
Medium body, smooth, light mouth feel, easy to drink.
Nice to see Big Rock trying lots of different styles.
Note to Self: Also available as part of the 2015 Summer Swinger Pack in 355 ml cans.

Like a rhinestone cowboy... Even the name suggests this beer is a "pretender". If this is a "Brewmaster's Limited Edition", one can only hope it's time is limited because the brewmaster has been replaced. BBTM - barely better than macro...
