Dakota Kick at 6% abv, "brewed and canned by Dakota Group, Utica NY", pours a crystal-clear deep-golden/amber body beneath a fairly long-standing head of white foam. The head retention is very good, and it leaves some nice lace about the glass.
The nose is sweetish "beer" - grainy and adjunct-sweet with just a smidge of hops behind it. Some alcohol and fermentation esters appear as well, but they're not overly offensive.
In the mouth it's gently crisp and then smooth with a dextrinous, medium body.
The flavor is as the nose suggests, with a sweet, grainy and adjunct-ridden malt backed by a smear of leafy and floral hops, and a waft of alcohol. Some other mild esters are present but not obtrusive (high fermentation with lots of simple sugars I'm guessing).
Even at $8 or 9 a case, there are much better beers available within the same price range.
