Served in straight pint glass. Poured a hazy medium yellow color with just a thin cap of white head that had very low retention and very light lacing.

The aroma was the basic grain and yeast expected of the style, but had a very sharp vinegar aspect. The vinegar wasn't as strong on the tongue, but was still noticeable. Otherwise, the taste was a very subdued blend of benign grains and yeast.

The body was thinner than usual, even for a style not known for being particularly hearty. the beer did have a nicely dry finish. Drinkability was OK, the vinegar component was a negative for me, but YMMV. Overall, not terrible, but not really notable either. Ya could give it a shot if ya see it. Or not.
