I got this bottle from tayner. Thanks Dana!
It pours a clear(turns slightly hazy with second pour) yellow gold with about an inch of foam. Almost no lacing but the head retention is good.
The smell has notes of some malt and a touch of hop bitterness at first whiff. More whiffs in and I get "strong" notes of lemon.
The taste has some bready malt and a slightly bitter hop flavour. Swishing the beer in my mouth and the hops become a little more assertive..tastes lemony. There's also a flavour here that I can't quite put into words but it doesn't add in a positive way to the overall drinking experience.
Mouthfeel is very thin and carbonation is medium. Imho, it's not much of a step up from the typical Macro and maybe it's not a step up at all. I'm still glad I had a chance to try it because you *never* know how you'll feel about a brew until you try it. No matter what previous reviews say. ;^)
