First sip is More piney than I had expected, but it also has the citrus notes in there with it. The citrus is lemon, and it falsely gives the impression of this being dish-washing liquid after the sip is over. The sip, then, does not bestow awards and accolades upon the brewer. Maybe a swig will save the beer.
Tip-in is slight carbonation burn and bitterness of the citrus hops. The middle swings by with more carbonation and little else; it's watery and too tasteless. The finish arrives with lemon and some sweet malt, but the sweetness isn't able to cope with the overriding bitterness. After the drink is gone, I can't say it leaves me wanting more.
Bottom Line: It's like a muted bell being rung. It is not as clear and crisp as it needs to be, and the use of it is ineffective.
