16oz can purchased from the fridge as a single for $4.35. No canned on date. Currently offered at Forest & Main as both Beer To Go and on draft.
Look: Pours an almost perfectly clear light golden color. It had a very fluffy head that dissipated to a ring around the glass. Decent lacing.
Smell: Floral aromas along with fruity notes of apples. There's a grassy hoppiness on the finish that smells really pleasant. I also get almost a burnt sugar/petrol kind of note, which is probably due to the earthy hop aromas. The aromas here remind me very much of Solemn Oath Lu, which is a Kolsch.
Taste: Very tasty. It's a refreshing light ale. Almost tastes like a lager because it's so light and crisp. Up front, it has a nice crackery malt that brings along some spicy and fruity character from the nose (cloves and apples). The beer is nicely carbonated and very easy to drink. The finish has a good amount of bittering - tons of orange peel notes along with a woody/earthy character. The hop character here is really nice and makes this beer in my opinion.
Feel: It's light and crisp on the palate, with spritzy yet gentle carbonation. This is light bodied, and the mouthfeel has a nice, soft, subtle creaminess with just a bit of chewiness.
Overall: I honestly wasn't sure what style this should be characterized as. They call it a "Pub Ale," and I think that the closest thing to that is an English Bitter. This doesn't really taste like an English Bitter to me though. I wonder it would be better suited as an English Pale Ale or an ESB. This beer also tastes a lot like a Saison to me, except that it doesn't use a Saison yeast, it's not as dry or spicy as a Saison, and it's generally much hoppier.
From the website:
Summer time pub ales are where it’s at, and when the pub ale is in a can, you can bring the pub wherever you go! We brewed this one with Maris Otter and Golden Naked Oats, and hopped it with Centennial and Mandarina Bavaria. We find notes of homemade applesauce, a citrus galette, toasted biscuits, pulling ales by hand, and lots of honest beer flavors.
