This 3.8% session beer, for me, falls short. While it has a dry (some crueler commentators have described it as 'dusty') flavor with a hint of wheat and hops, it ultimately fails to make much of an impact. It is certainly drinkable, with the only true negative being an unfortunately metallic aftertaste, but the whole pint exudes average to such an extent that it is difficult to find any joy while consuming it. I hate to sound this mean when speaking about a small, indeed micro, brewery, but I have always preferred producers of that size to use their position to create something unique, exciting and full of the unexpected. As regular readers will note, from yesterday's beer, Black Paw are capable of dizzying heights, but this beer fails to reach them. A 5/10 and a wistful sigh is all it deserves.
