355ml can, part of a sextet of this nascent brewing concern's canned offerings to show up at the 'local' bottleshop around here.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat fizzy eggshell white head, which leaves a bit of streaky and sudsy lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready and doughy pale malt, lager yeast, a bit of overripe apple and pear fruitiness, further breakfast cereal notes, and some very tame leafy, weedy, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, an earthy yeastiness, green apples, a hint of wan citrus pith, and more plain and unassuming herbal, floral, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-propping frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and more or less smooth, just a bit of that weird, AAL-aping astringency fussing about here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt, bland fruitiness, and equally mundane hops carrying us on out.
Overall - yeah, this does well to imitate that hard to describe sensation one gets when slugging back a macro lager - I guess it's been so long since I've reviewed one, I've lost my edge. No matter, at least they're honest in the label's marketing blabber, in that this was made to appeal to crossover/gateway lager drinkers. Bang on, I say.
