473ml can - nice and simple naming, and nobody gets hurt, y'hear?
This beer pours a mostly clear, pale golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some splattered rain drops on a window profile lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of grainy and crackery cereal malt, faint domestic citrus rind, a clumsy-seeming earthy yeastiness, and some weak leafy, weedy, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, still muddled orange, lemon, and lime citrus zest, a bit of still unwelcome pithy yeast, and more bland earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its palate-dulling frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and sort of smooth, with that pithiness taking things down several notches at this (and almost every other) particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, for no really agreeable reason whatsoever.
Overall - yeah, this one might be a tad old (packaged in the last week of Oct 2019), but that metric is no great excuse in this case, IMHO. Nothing really going on here to warrant further discussion, as the untethered bitterness and weird 16-proof booze factor just seem to be having a hard time of it at the moment.
