I bought a few cans from the brewery 473ml at 4.8% 21 IBU
Poured into glass with 1 finger head leaving a lace as you drink it.
Plain lagered ale Kolsch style beer.
Overall it's ok easy drinking light style Lager .

3.5/5  rDev +1.4%
look: 3.5 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Poured with a thumb's worth of head that did not lace or stick around very long. The body is a cloudy brass yellow showing medium carbonation.

Smell: Not very potent, even with warming as bready barley malt and pepper make up the nose. Nothing wrong here, but nothing standing out and quite subdued.

Taste: Quite mild, and leaning very much on the "logger'd" a bready barley malt gives way to notes of straw and pepper. It's certainly a Kolsch, but this is probably the mildest, even tempered one I'd had. That's not a bad thing necessarily, but it does make for a fairly short review.

Mouthfeel: The carbonation comes off as a bit too aggressive giving it a bit of a seltzer quality but that's really the largest complaint here. By keeping things milder, the transitioning is smooth, the aftertaste seems to lean on the bread and a touch of straw and there's no unpleasant cling. I wouldn't call it crisp, but I'd certainly call it clean.

Drinkability: It's very refreshing and easy to drink, that's really the strong suit here. This stuff is a lawnmower drinker, that is for sure. Settles down well and on the lighter end of medium body, although that could be the carbonation playing some tricks.

Final Thoughts: There's nothing here you will go wrong with, but there's nothing here that's going to knock your socks off. It's a interesting Macro lager replacement that trades some of the sweetness for pepper notes, but given the name is literally Sawmill Sid, while it's good, it is a run of the mill.
