Oil Can as a single from The Wine Shop, Johnson Ferry Road, Marietta, GA, USA.
Amber body with some decent carbonation, small head and some pretty good lace. Good clarity, this is not a bad looking beer at all.
Nose is a bit worrying – has that corn/vegetal macro air about it, but the taste is better. A malty bitterness. Light in the mouth (perhaps thin), but finishes kind of creamy. Finish also produces a metallic bitterness that lingers a little.
I was not very excited about this, expecting little, but to be honest it did better than I thought. Not exactly a classic, but to be honest I found it to be drinkable and not completely without charm. If the ABV really is 2.5%, then I see that as another plus. Actually, in the final analysis, I quite like this!
