Repackaged and in for a new review. Let’s see if this 5 O’Clock shadow grows on me. With the time change it just so happens that 5 O’Clock comes earlier now.* Unfortunately for me, or perhaps this review, that one hour we lost was the hour I had planned not to be cranky. Looks like it’s going to be a long winter.
Is this brew from Full Beard the same shadow we reviewed some time ago? Different packaging, different pour and different taste leads to an indifferent rating. A dull gold clear pour, no head, not an inviting look. Malt based aroma but odd and a bit off putting. The first taste was watery very little flavour, watery with a touch of bitter that’s it. Maybe a bit of corn maize in there? More like a cerveza light than any pale ale I have come across. Nothing to get cranky about or cranked up about, stuck in neutral on this one. Mild malt with a touch of graininess and that’s all she wrote, and that’s all I wrote.
The last time we reviewed this one it fared pretty well. This time, not so much. Not sure if it was a stale pale but this one is a shadow of it’s former self. Didn’t love it didn’t hate it, now I’ll rate it.
