This beer started gently and changed toward the end. I couldn't get past the fact that the body felt watery. On top of that, it felt too fizzy. I left most of the pour unfinished.

The finish was the deciding point for me with Royal Challenge. The clean, dry finish was pleasant, but it felt too fizzy. Some good points, though the balance didn't fully work for me.
bitter - fizzyThe first thing I noticed with this beer was the aroma. It opened with light bitterness, then moved into clean, dry finish without losing balance. Easy recommendation for someone who enjoys this style.
