3.25/5  rDev -2.4%
look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25
Look: It pours cloudy light yellow with a white head that has low head retention.

Smell: It has a heavy lime and citrus aroma. There is a bit of spice in the background with salt notes. There is also a touch of sourness.

Taste: There are lime and citrus flavors with low coriander and a slightly tart element. The salt element is low and in the background.

Feel: It has a slightly tart finish with a moderately low body.

Overall, this is dominant by the citrus and lime. The other elements are well in the background with a slight tartness.

I was scouring through some of my increasing backlog of CANs, thanks to the eradication of the Bottle Backlog, when I came across three Australian Nomads & suddenly, my CAN fancy (CANcy) was tickled! It may seem as though I am easily amused, but when it comes to The CANQuest (tm), there is no shame in my game.

From the CAN: "We've trekked inland for an outback interpretation of the Gose style using Murray River pink Salt and native desert limes. Combining salt and citrus to produce a refreshing beer perfect on its own or paired with food."

I am always elated when a beer is either marked as being unfiltered or is of a style in which haziness/cloudiness is perfectly acceptable. I agitated the beer while still in the relatively tiny 11.2-fl. oz. CAN. Once I had CANducted the Crack!, I went with an inverted Glug to produce two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, bone-white head with modest retention, but it left great lacing in its wake. Color was a deeply-hazy Straw-Yellow (SRM = > 2, < 4). Just from the pour, I could smell the salt! I am a retired U.S. Navy sailor with loads of sea time & the smell of salt gets me every time. Leaning in, I really opened my sinuses with a blast of salt & lime citrusiness. Phew! Mouthfeel was kind of thin & watery, but I will try to refrain from dunning it too hard in that aspect. The taste was rather muted, especially as CANpared to the nose. Yes, I was getting the salt, lime, tartness & even some spiciness from the coriander, but it just seemed like the dial had been turned down to "4" or so. 8=( This was NOT a CANparatively inexpensive little CAN & I was really hoping for more out of it. Finish was dry, tart, spicy & citrusy & while it might be absolutely refreshing on a hot summer's day in Oz, I would have a tough time justifying the outlay for a seCANd go-'round. YMMV.

3.56/5  rDev +6.9%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
L: Poured from a can to a cylinder glass. Had a golden yellow color and a cloudy consistency. There was an inch of foamy, fairly long-lasting head. Sparse lacing.

S: A decidedly subdued aroma of wheat, salt, citrus fruit, and coriander.

T: Tasted of a good shot of citrus fruit (lime, especially), a moderate amount of salt (could have used more), light coriander notes, and a whole lot of wheat. The trouble with the flavor is similar to the aroma: It's a little weak. Some of the ingredients aren't powerful enough. Some elements, like the lime, save the flavor.

F: A decent amount of carbonation with a slightly slick finish. Light-bodied.

O: This beer has its good points, but doesn't quite succeed. Not terrible, though.
