Just finished a 30L keg of this. It's a great daily drinker. Has lots of good flavour for the low abv of 4.4%. This might be the beer that makes it into the kegerator on a routine basis.

473ml can - 'This is what a lager should be. Toasty amber lager with firm lightly herbal bitterness', has got to be among the laziest marketing blurbs that I have ever seen.

This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some dispersing campfire smoke pattern lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.

It smells of lightly toasted, gritty and grainy cereal malt, some muddled pome fruitiness, and very plain earthy, musty, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, red apple skin, a hint of gasohol, and more understated leafy, weedy, and grassy hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really a cause for concern at this particular point in the process. It finishes trending dry, the malt checking out, leaving some lingering hops to close up shop.

Overall - this is a fairly clean example of the style, crisp, and easy enough to put back. Nice to see all these startups tackling some more esoteric offerings straight out of the gate. Worth checking out, even if they have some work to do on their labeling efforts.
