473ml can, currently available at only yer lesser appraised liquor stores in our fair northern burg, for some reason.
This beer pours a clear, brightly-lit pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some disintegrating ice wall lace around the glass as things eventually progress.
It smells of bready and grainy pale malt, some warm yeastiness (of the brewing sort you miscreants!), ephemeral musty fruity notes, dried clover honey, and very, very faint earthy, musty, and dead leafy green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity graininess, more indistinct generic fruity essences, a faint hint of weird ashiness (maybe it's the porch light vapor), and some still very tame leafy, weedy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty blah in its blah-seeming blah frothiness, the body a stolid medium weight, and mostly smooth, nothing daring to get in the way of the brewer's malty good-time festerina here - no way, Jose! It finishes well off-dry, the malt and attendant sweet hop fruitiness the order of the lingering day.
Overall, this comes across simply as an average malty Big Rock brew, with the interaction with the purported Amarillo hops tenuous at best (they won't be here by morning). Easy to drink, sure, but I'm keeping my handy-dandy tongue-scraper on call, just in case.
