Hammer Light
Big Oyster Brewery

Picked up a four pack at a relatively good price while making a holiday run at State Line liquors this afternoon. Solid hop flavors with minimum bitterness and a little overcarbonated but overall balanced and easy to drink. I am always up for tall boys and this is easy drinking and worth a try if you want some hops but not much booze.

 

Got a 16 oz can of this beer from my brother Curt. thank you!
Pouring at cold temperature into my snifter. The beer pours a light goldenrod color and is slightly hazy. Several very fine streams of carbonation rise to the surface. These bubbles form a dense bleached white head of 2 cm that fades slowly and remains about 1 cm of foam during the sampling.
Leaves tight dense lattice as I swirl or take a sip from my glass.
Aroma is hops but mild, with some light citrusy notes of orange and a bit of pineapple. I also get some pine and grassy notes blended in. I dont get much of a malt scent, maybe some light biscuity notes, but not much. Overall the nose is pretty mild.
First sip reveals a light and crisp textured beer with medium carbonation that is pretty gentle.
flavor is what I expect based on the style and the nose. A bit of light biscuity malt and then citrus hops, but this time its more grapefruit and rindy with a dryingout bite on the finish. Bitterness lingers a bit , and my palate is dry after each swallow. No ABV hints as expected and this is a crushable beer. Kind of one dimensional and not complex, but it is what it says it is. Pretty good beach beer with a bit of hop bite.
