355ml can, another offering produced for the Real Canadian Superstore's standalone liquor outlets. I can't really think of any other 'dry' beer still existant around here, save Molson's rapidly fading option.
This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, very loosely foamy, and fizzy dirty white head, which leaves the sparsest of sparse remote islet lace 'around' the glass as it quickly bleeds off.
It smells of acrid, musty yeast, stale corn chips, rice crackers, a rather metallic stoniness - more wet than dry (OMG!) - acetone, and very bland earthy, weedy, and musky hops. The taste is semi-sweet grainy corn mush and rice pudding, perhaps an echo of real boy malt, some buttery non-goodness, a lessened metallic astringency, and icky, not quite skunky, but not quite not, either, get my drift?
The bubbles are pretty out to lunch, hardly registering a blip on the ol' froth-o-meter, the body an actually true life medium weight, with very little (ok, just 'little') due to the pithy clammy nature that grows exponentially as it warms. It finishes off-dry (sorry), the now muddled graininess still not doing it, nor anyone else, any favours.
Sort of a living dead, risen from beyond sort of beer to come across, really. Who drinks this stuff anymore? Back in the day, the extra 0.5% ABV (as opposed to Canadian) was the selling point, along with the purportedly dry mouthfeel. How this still matters, is a mystery to me, but I suppose I can very well envision the exact customer who pops in, sees the two-four for around a buck a beer, and sez 'let's get 'er done', on their way to the lake. Yup, that's this stuff, in a pinch.
