12oz single from Mac’s Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Part of the $7.99 mixed sixer that they peddle.
Pour is a simple, dark urine colored body underneath a head that is gone very quickly to reveal virtually no lace. Small bubbles of carbonation do persist, but they do not seem to contribute to the head in any way.
Grassy and grainy nose, with a similar taste along with some extra sweetness. Some herbal hop notes, but the whole package is pretty muted. The macro-lager sweetness is a little cloying in the finish. Nothing too offensive, but in no way is this a very good representative beer for the style. I could drink a couple I suppose, but after that I would be annoyed that the beer is not a good reflection of a style that I like, and the slightly, sickly sweet notes might start getting to me.
Strikes me as a macro attempt at a far more complicated style. If I want a BdG, then I want a real one – not a pretender.
