First sip is fresh bread-like malt with a bit of honey and citrus in the mix. It's got more flavor than others out there (I'm looking at you, Killian's) and I'd be inclined to say that it is a very good thing. It's got a nice, tart aftertaste that gives more depth to the beer than the others. Let's see if we can swig this.
Tip-in is very soft malt with a bit of carbonation burn, and the malt is slightly toasted. The middle is caramel entry and more very lightly toasted malt with bready citrus. The finish rolls on in with an unexpected nuttiness and a bit of a bitter turn. It's unexpected and also pretty dang good.
I say that, but I am revisiting this review after the beer started to warm a bit, and... You know how some beers have a "best served at" temperature? You know how I've commented that some beers get better as they warm? Well, this one gets downright unpleasant. I originally had this at a 3.5, but I'm dropping it to a 2.5. Honestly, that's only very cold. Any warmth, and this goes a lot lower.
Bottom Line: It's different. It's good cold, but something happens that really makes it bad when it warms up.
2.5/5
