The nose is pleasantly malty-caramel with a smidge of grain! I like it.
The middle is a little thin-there’s a very steady carbonic element to this beer. On the one hand, that makes it a very drinkable beer-it clears out well, it’s good to pair with food.
On the other, it gets going so early that it wrecks the midrange flavors pretty hard. That doesn’t make it a bad beer-but it does keep it from being all it can be, in my opinion.
However, the plus that it goes well with nachos cannot be overshadowed by these minor quibbles.
