16 ounce can - $3.50 at Woodstock Beer Market in Woodstock, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a minimally hazed, golden-hued body with a foamy, frothy, white head. A few blips of lace on the way down.
Smell: Grainy-scented pils, spicy-floral hops with a faint currant note.
Taste: Lightly grainy, very subtle honeyish hint. Hops present a spicy, curt floral quality with a distant berryish accent. Medium bitterness. The hops and persistent graininess hold through the lightly snappy finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.
Overall: A decent pils.

This beer is convoluted like a James Joyce novel, yet it doesn’t read like one. It was brewed by Urban Chestnut for Dutches Ales? As far as the quality of the beer goes, it’s like Wendy’s made a blizzard for Dairy Queen. Wait, is it that bad? Could anything be that bad? It actually isn’t. But it’s still boring as hell like Bukowski while sober.
Whatever.
