Sometimes when you’re in the middle of writing your third paper (or article) of the night you need a bit of a pick-me-up. If you jaunt off to the liquor store as a study break, skip picking up Cracked Canoe.
It’s technically a craft beer, meaning it’s going to run you more than your average light lager. On the nose you have every other cheap light lager that you could have paid $10 for a 12-pack. The pour produces no head and a lot of carbonation, so your pint glass will look like you poured yourself a big glass of sparkling apple juice. Trust me, you’re better off with the apple juice.
There is next to no flavour in this beer, so if you like feeling like you’re drinking yeasty sparkling water then this is the beer for you. There is literally nothing else to say about this beer because it is so bland.
If you’re looking for a light beer, skip Cracked Canoe and opt for some Pabst Blue Ribbon. You’d have some chance to get a bit of flavour that way, and you’ll save some money. I’m just glad that I picked this up from the single-bottle bin to preface my bottle of wine.
