Space Station Middle Finger

Pours clear with an inch of white head into a pint glass. Retention is nice for such a small amount of foam. Wispy lacing at times, created by the tip of the glass. Aroma is cereal grains up front, giving off sweetness late. Light citrusy hops are backing but definitely not the leader. As it warms pine becomes more prevalent but still a backseat to the malt. Taste is grain and cereal. There is a sweetness in the middle that really builds quickly and dissipates as well. Bitterness is late and mild. Finishes cleanly, no lingering. I like that. High end of light body, maybe sneaks in on the lower end of medium. Heaps of spritzy carbonation yield that sense of body. This beer might have been past prime. There was a date on the bottle but it was smudged, making it unreadable. Rating for the beer I had today. Based on that I would have another to compare it to what I had. My wife purchased this beer with a couple of others, supposedly the IPAs were fresh, finding out otherwise. The sweetness keeps this beer from being easier to appreciate. Enjoy!
