Stupid amount of carbonation, but no explosion at all, just an eight centimetre tall white microfoamed head atop a clear golden and honey coloured body. Aroma of light hops, alcohol, metal, cardboard, apples and very little else - mild. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence with a hint of apples, cardboard, malt, metal and the slightest bit of hops. Aftertaste shows almost nothing different with perhaps some medicinal flavours and that’s about it. Overall, a pretty poor offering and despite it being an interesting choice at the store, I wish I would have got something different to bring home from Chicago. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Binny’s (no way/sarcasm) in Chicago (South Loop), Illinois on 21-August-2013 for US$7.99 sampled at home in Washington on 22-March-2014, but if I did this again, I wouldn’t have purchased this at all, especially not for that price.
