16 fl oz pull-tab can nabbed as part of a 4 pack for $8.99 USD plus tax at a beer store in New Orleans, LA and served cold into a shaker pint.
5.4% ABV.
BODY: Clear vibrant yellow. Appears filtered, true to style.
HEAD: White. ~6-7cm. Lasts ~8 minutes.
Appears well carbonated. Looks like a proper pilsner.
AROMA: I get some sort of corn-like adjunct, actually - maize? Maybe they just cheaped out on the malt and used 6-row or something? Seems too sweet and grainy...actually reminds me of a malt liquor and I don't mean that in a good way. Lacks the grassiness of a good pilsner; there're no Noble hop aromatics at all. Maybe it's DMS? In any case, this aroma is far from promising.
TASTE & TEXTURE: Matches the aroma with a strange corn or maize-like flavour that really brings the beer down for me. Lacks any Noble hop grassiness, doesn't have the clean crisp feel of a good pilsner...I honestly think it tastes more like a malt liquor or adjunct lager. Quite imbalanced, leaning heavy on almost syrupy malt flavours. Too sweet. Actually a bit off-putting.
Smooth, wet, well carbonated. Too thick. Unrefreshing. Sticky. Buttery...diacetyl?
OVERALL: I've had Euro pale lagers from petrol stations across Eastern Europe that were more balanced and closer to a pilsner proper than this. Easily All Relation's worst beer to date, and possibly riddled with DMS and/or diacetyl...it does have an odd borderline vegetal corn sort of flavour and a buttery mouthfeel I find difficult to stomach. Just downright bad.
