XXXX Summer Bright Lager American Adjunct Lager 4.2%
C- / 2.75 look: 2.5 smell: 2 taste: 3 feel: 2.5 drink: 4
Disclaimer: I received this beer as a gratuity from the brewer's marketing team.
Pours a pale straw yellow, not much bubbling. White rocky head that doesn't last long.
Innocuous aromas, macro sulfur. Some grain. Goes skunky in the glass pretty quickly. Therefore drink it from the bottle, not the glass.
Flavour is light and innoffensive. Neutral grain flavour that I find common across Asian lagers, Mexican beers, and Aussie "dry" styles. Slight green apple note. Doesn't have that cardboard character I tend to observe in other dry-style beers, so good for its class.
As expected, a very light mouthfeel, crisp finish. Almost like softdrink.
This beer will appeal to the wanna-be-seen crowd. Those who prefer more assertive flavours and mouthfeel should look elsewhere.
Serving type: bottle
Additional review notes, from Libby, Jono, Natalie:
Tasty, refreshing.... nice with a slice of lemon or lime perhaps. Great beer to have with a curry, or on a hot summer's day. "I could drink this" say non-beer drinkers Libby & Natalie.
