I ran across this beer as a single in a small beer store off of Richmond, long before it showed up at Spec's, but never got around to trying it. Then, it came in a BOTM shipment, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
First impression--I don't like the Red Stripe type bottles. Except for how they pour. For some reason, they pour extremely smoothly.
Pours clear and light yellow with a crisp white head.
Nice smell. Crisp and malty, a bit of an odd combination. Smells like adjunct grains like a macro, but it's still good. Like a more robust Budweiser.
Light. Low bitterness, light malt. Aftertaste is a bit cardboardish, but not really in a bad way. The light taste isn't watery, it feels like it's supposed to be this way, which is good for a session.
Good beer. Proof that a beer doesn't have to have a huge ABV or be an imperial-something to be worth keeping.
