Opened this beer for a weekend catch-up. The bready malt note came through clearly, and clean, dry finish kept the sip interesting. I'd happily choose it again.

I had mixed expectations for this beer. The idea of bready malt note was there, but the finish tasted slightly metallic. Maybe better in a stronger mix, though I wouldn't buy it for sipping.
thin - light - maltyI let this beer sit for a moment before tasting it. I liked the crisp carbonation. The only drawback was that the body felt watery. A solid four rather than a five.
