Fairly hazy (around twenty five per cent) opaque golden and yellow coloured body without any head at all - literally a thin layer that fades after a few seconds and leaves nothing else - pretty sad looking throughout, actually. Aroma of light pickles, cucumbers, salt, brine, lemons and a faint dose of wheats and light malts and a mild touch of sweetness, with some funky notes, but nothing too strong or pungent, at least in the nose. Light-bodied; Strong super sweet and pungently, cloyingly funky caster sugar sweetness that doesn't seem right that fades immediately to a pungent salt, brine and off-putting artificial cucumber and vegetable flavour right away. Aftertaste shows a lot of sweetness, almost a cloying amount of odd, unnatural sugars that show the caster sugars and a mellow tartness, but the funky pickle-like (not just plain cucumber) flavour at the end is the strongest and most off-putting, compared to the other flavours that this could have actually been. Overall, a pretty sad beer and one that misses the mark almost entirely - way too sweet and pungent with a funky pickle (not cucumber) flavour throughout and a lot of salty notes that show a bit more than brine here. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Kroger in Dayton, Ohio on 10-August-2021 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 03-October-2021.
