473ml can - I ain't got no sausages nor sunsets happening right now, but I think I'll be fine.

This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some layered snow rime pattern lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, apple and pear skin, a hint of earthy yeastiness, and some tame leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, some mixed pome and citrus fruitiness, a damp minerality, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-placating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really existing here that might be cause for concern. It finishes trending dry, the malt starting a slow, meandering downward spiral.

Overall - this comes across as a pretty standard version of the style, fairly plain and simple, yet with no obvious flaws. Easy enough to put back, but also duly forgettable, the sort of thing that if someone offered you one at a party, you could enjoy it, but I'm not seeking this out.
