1L (almost) howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store, they of the very cool (only by its rarity) attitude of 'if the keg kicks before the fill, it's free'. Yeah.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden straw colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a bit of distant pinprick starlight lace around the glass as things quickly sink away.
It smells of grainy and crackery pale malt, prominent Euro gasohol notes, a bit of underripe apple and pear fruitiness, subtle earthy yeast esters, and some testy leafy, herbal, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, a further indistinct breakfast cereal thing, white pepper dust, a lessened petrol experience, muddled pome fruit, an ephemeral yeastiness, and more zingy leafy, weedy, and wet grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly average in its 'alltäglich' frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, nothing more, nothing less. It finishes trending dry, the crisp malt holding tight to the reins.
Overall - after trying to see past my bias of 'une biere gratis', this is indeed a solid version of the proclaimed style (the brewery apparently called it German right out of the gate). Refreshing, and killer drinkable after a spell of sweating my, well, everything off playing Fußball in near 30 degree (Celsius, to my American friends) heat earlier this afternoon. I'm still recovering, and this is surely helping the cause.
