250ml can, one reminiscent of those retarded Molson Cold Shots of more than a few years back, but way, way cheaper, at least!
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, densely foamy, and kind of creamy off-white head, which leaves some streaky drooping cloud lace around the glass as it hastily abates.
It smells of acrid earthy yeast, gritty pale malt, stripped-down corn cob, American gasoline esters, and stanky dead leafy, weedy hops. The taste is sugary pale and corn-bred malt, in more or less equal proportions - but I'm sure you can tell me which one quickly wins out - malt liquor, um, liquor, dumbed-down pear and apple fruit notes, and very generic earthy, weedy hops.
The bubbles are pretty low-key, manifesting in a minor frothiness at best, the body a heady medium weight for the style (one which I'm starting to reconsider, maybe), and generally smooth, the alcohol either too dumb or too unaware to meddle here. It finishes sweet, yeah, but in a somewhat moderated manner, the ugliness I was anticipating never really coming to fruition.
Ok, I'd fix it (fiiiiix IT!), but there isn't really anything residing between a boozed-up American lager, and the more robust, high-test German examples of the broader style. So, I'm leaving it as such, based mostly on this brewer's track record. Not particularly difficult to drink, both style and ABV considered, which is way more than I had initially thought I could say about this goofy-ass offering.
