355ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold-amber with a medium, frothy, short lived off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of grainy malt, caramel, apple, pear and musty, floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, bread, caramel, apple and yeast with a dry, bitter, floral hop finish. Medium body with a watery texture and soft carbonation.

355ml can from Legacy. Made at Factory. Dull appearance, flat, dull amber, no head, just lifeless. Appley, plasticy aroma veering dangerously into malt liquor territory, though I wouldn't say 6.2% is strong enough. You'd have to put this in a bigger can, anyway. But it tastes like malt liquor, grainy, plasticy and sweet. No nuance. Really a poor product...not aiming high I don't imagine but even then it isn't strong enough to be a proper malt liquor, but doesn't taste good enough to be anything else. Why would anybody drink this except to get shitfaced? Gimme at least a 500ml can, boost the abv a bit, and then we'll talk.
