355ml can - not sure (because these dudes don't talk) if this is King of Springs re-branded, or if it is another contract brewer working with them. Who the fuck knows - but this is indeed a new brew.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of spindly and sudsy lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.
It smells of buttered white bread, generic whipped honey, rising yeast, and some ethereal earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, buttery Ritz crackers, ephemeral crusty honey, some estery yeast, and more super-understated leafy, weedy, and dead floral 'hoppiness'.
The carbonation is damned-near inert in its barely-there frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and not particularly smooth, as those phenolic yeasty and greasy butter notes don't make for fun playmates. It finishes trending dry, the malt petering out, and something I can't really describe filling the void.
Overall - yeah, this one's got some of the same endemic problems that the host brewery seemed to have when I tore through there in the summer of '16. Namely, diacetyl up the virtual wazoo, and now it's being passed on to whoever the hell 'Beerdmeister' really is. Bad stuff - not Minhas bad, but still, bad.
