Decent looking pour with a golden body sitting underneath a small, white cap of foam.
Despite the small head, the carbonation seems quite aggressive and vigorous and a little prickly. Not much aroma, even after it warms. This beer clearly doesn’t have a lot of volatiles present.
Semi-sweet grains with perhaps a touch of zesty fruit, but in no way is this beer either bitter or particularly tasty. Lacks much depth, but at least it is non-offensive. I found it refreshing and drinkable, but the beer doesn’t really stand out in any way.
It’s the kind of beer that I would be absolutely delighted to be able to produce in my garage, but at the same time also pretty disappointed if I couldn’t! What I mean by that is that the beer doesn’t have any flaws as such, but is truly a pretty mediocre effort for a professional outfit.
