Pours clear with my glass 90% full of off-white, billowing foam. Retention is quite quick for the amount of foam with a bit of frothiness coming through. Lacing is minimal at best. Really surprised by the amount of foam here.
Aroma is mostly sweet caramel malt. That's about it. Not much going on here.
Taste is about the same: a lot of sweetness throughout. A touch of spice hops. Once again left me hanging.
Medium body with a high, prickly carbonation.
There are a few issues I have with this beer but it is very easy to drink, possibly a little too much sweetness hanging on to session. Still solid and I would have it again, just was expecting more. Enjoy!
