Pours clear with half glass of pristine white foam. Retention is fantastic becoming meringue as it recedes. Lacing is spotty and sticky.
Aroma has a lot of bread malt.
Taste has a lot of similar malty bits. While there is a ridiculously unbalanced hop bitterness in the finish and lingers to boot. Spice.
Light body with medium carbonation that hits the back of mouth.
Nothing really exciting here. Very unbalanced and not much of a enjoyable experience. The date on the bottle, which I liked, seemed to be 2011-02-11 but the month was a bit smudged so it was a guess. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
Naked Pig is a delightfully crisp, hand crafted ale. The German malts provide a perfect balance to the five hop additions that go into every batch we make. This American pale ale is tasty enough for any craft beer newcomer, while the complex character is sure to please even the most discerning craft connoisseur.
