Additional notes 08/08/26 (Pictured)

I’ve probably had this a couple of times between 2008 and 2026, but TBH not many.

Head and lace better than the notes below would suggest.

I can see why I wrote what I did below, but those notes also feel a touch harsh all these years later. I really don’t dislike this, and it does a job for me. Has some light hop flavor and the mouthfeel and presence are both greater than I remember. Decent carbonation here which liven the beer up a bit for me. Not often the case with cans over bottles.


Original notes 03/19/08

500 mL bottle from Arbor Place Beverage.

Very light colored (even watery) pour with a light, fluffy head that disappears quickly. Not much lace.

It drinks like a very lightweight Pils. A simple bitterness that fails to really bite. Mouthfeel is simple but does not really evoke any memorable experiences. Lacklustre.

A little too simple, EVEN for the style I feel. When you are brewing/drinking these delicate styles you tend to walk a very fine line between a forgetable beer and a nice example of the style, and this one has a foot in both camps for me.
