First sip is very crisp and malty. Tastes like a lager to me, so I guess that case is closed. The smell is a bit funkier than the taste, and the taste is pretty darn good. Of course, it's a simple sip, so I'm sure it isn't actually telling the whole story. So, for science, I have to take a proper swig.
Tip-in is rather intense carbonation burn with sweet malt in the form of a kind of sugar or honey glazed muffin. The middle stretches out into a lot more grain and some lemon and some saltines. It's managing to be thick and crisp at the same time, and that's a trick. The finish get a bit floral and there's a hint of caramel, and it trails off with a bit of a slight funk.
Bottom Line: Not a bad... lager? I don't know what style it is for sure, but it would be good with a burger or chips while watching the game. I could see having this during an emergency or when there isn't one.
3.25/5
