First sip is aggressively caustic. It's odd that it manages to have the difficulty in the spiciness and grains while also managing to be excessively watery. So, not a sipping beer, this. Will it be a swigging beer? I have to admit going into the next phase with more than a modicum of trepidation, but I must discern the truth!
Tip-in is actually a little sweet and caramel with carbonation nipping at the edges. The middle raises spices and bread with some kind of manufactured acidic calm. It's like if you took a very citrusy beer and then made it a nitro version - so you have the acid from the citrus, and the mellow of the head at odds with each other. The finish abruptly makes things intolerable with a pretty nasty jolt of spices and citrus before trailing off with an intangible wateriness.
Bottom Line: This thing is a mess that should never have sullied the Star Trek name.
