First sip is actually pretty nice. It's a very sweet malt that makes the whole beer about as mild as a warm cup of tea. It's not so sweet that it's a soft drink or anything, I mean, it still has some hops adding a bit of bitterness and topping off the flavor, but this is actually reminding me of an All Day IPA in that I could see knocking back like 12 of these over the course of a day (if that were the kind of life I actually had). I imagine a full draught would really show the depths of this thing.
Tip-in is soda water. It is literally the most tasteless thing I think I've ever done a review of. All I get is carbonation burn. The middle becomes a fine bread with a floury top. There is that slight hint of pear that kind of spices it a bit. As the finish arrives, it brings a bit of bitterness to balance out the sweetness of the malt. The finish isn't harsh - it's a bit creamy. The whole experience is a pretty good one in either a sip or a full manly swig.
Bottom Line: A nice, crisp beer that doesn't attack you with taste so much as enjoys the ride with you.
