From a 16oz can with an illegible date stamp. July 6th, maybe? Served in a cervoise.

Pours honey-gold with a scant finger of soft, soapy suds. Retention is wholly unremarkable, leaving a thin, wispy collar and zippo for lacings.

Nose is faint, mildly sweet. Reaching, reaching, reaching for an aroma and coming up with… apple pie filling.

Taste is nondescript but oddly pleasing - it’s smooth and clean and utterly inoffensive. Light toasted grain, American tobacco, apple pie filling, and a low-key but pervasive tingly bitterness, so dialed back it’s almost smooth like menthol.

Feel is smooth and clean, medium bodied with fine, tingly carbonation that gets all tangled up with the laid-back tingly bitterness. We do not use the terms ‘crushable’ or ‘poundable’ but, if we did, they would certainly apply in this instance.

Overall, hey, that was tasty! although I didn’t notice right away. If I had to sit down and drink, like, 12 of a single kind of beer, this would be a terrific candidate. Sometimes ‘utterly inoffensive’ is really good. Even the unusual menthol or menthol-like quality is just a curiosity and in no way unpleasant.
