NOTES:
But a mere -finger of aerated hastily dissipating foam off the pour. Head complexion is a quite lighter (barely)beige than I'd expect in comparison to the inky tho crisp darkness of ale. While so very temporarily there, the head was mainly composed of large-sized bubbles.

Sniffs of fruity forward malt & surprisingly bright/thin. Zero smoky or peaty nuances. Straightforward and maybe a tick boozy. Drinks refreshingly-so & quite carbonated to the point of some sharpness. Malty (lightly roasted), natch, as well as a bit mineral ashy and metallic tinny. No nuances there, either. Unlike on the nose, the ABV mostly hides in the beer-hole.

Caramelized sugar is the lone sweetness other than that inherent to the grains. A bit of a coffee vibe added bitterness. Some structural seasoned hardwood, traces of nutshell. Peppercorn. Rigid stuff. The body, like the head, is fleeting. Light. An alcohol warmth finishes after that short sorta bitey extension of gulp. Seems curiously strung up & out in Bum Fuck Egypt 'tween bad session & worse sipping brew.

FINAL GRADE: C+
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
