355ml can - 'beer-flavoured beer' and 'contains no dairy (cream ale, get it?)' kind of fall flat in the humour department.

This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of streaky and sudsy lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, a hint of buttery crackers, some faint pome fruitiness, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, baked red apples, a bit of estery yeast, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite subtle in its placid-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee, well, creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the Alberta malt pretty much the only lingering game on the back 40.

Overall - this comes across as a well-made version of the style, rather malt-forward, as one should be expecting. And, yup, I can confirm that it actually contains beery flavours, but I'm not lactose intolerant, so those afflicted as such, are sadly on their own.
