Excellent pour that started out butterscotch-colored then settled into the more typical Ale hue. Creamy almost to a fault, as there was not much of a beer flavor to it at all. Slightly tannic, and overall the flavor does not live up to the looks.

I can't believe what I'm reading. You could pump nitrogen through tap water and make it smooth. So what? Real smoothness should be attained with lagering, yeast selection, mashing, etc. You want smooth - try Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout, or Gale's Festival Mild off the cask. Now that's smooth the way it should be.

I usually don't like these nitro injected beers (aside from Guinness of course). This is an exception - instead of being overly creamy, with the milkiness masking any beer flavor, this one has a good hoppiness that cuts through, similar to Yards Brawler...but better.
