Appearance: 3.0 - It's definitely a pilsner: light, golden brown. The clarity is quite good. This particular bottle didn't really have a very good head, but most of the other bottles seemed to have carbed better.
Smell: 4.0 - It's predominately hoppy, still reminiscent of the Canadian Draft brews I've made. The slight sour note that I detected before seems to have faded.
Taste: 2.0 - It starts watery, but quickly turns bitter and finishes spicy/tangy/sour. It's one of the fastest moving brews I can recall. Even the aftertaste doesn't seem to linger at first, though as you move through the glass, it seems to build up.
Mouthfeel: 2.5 - There is a little tingle to it, but not much. It's coarse, something like drinking homemade lemonade.
Drinkability: 2.5 - It's smooth enough to start with, but gets less drinkable with each sip.
Bottom Line: 2.4 (I can finish it) - It's alright, but I won't brew it again. Perhaps I'm feeling let down because it smells really enticing, but the taste leaves me with a little to be desired. Heck, I'm not really a fan of the style anyway, so I'm not sure what I was expecting.
I'd drink it with...
Pepperoni pizza, hotdogs/hamburgers, my dad (who likes pilsner)
