Drank back to back with a Bass Pale Ale for comparison.

Similar to bass in color and head color. Slightly better head retention. Next to no aroma. If anything, the aroma of dust.

Nitro smoothness, tho cannot say for sure if it is actually nitro. Muted flavors. Bland. But there is a huge maltiness on the aftertaste which saves this beer. It is quite surprising. I have never had a beer where the after taste is stronger (in a pleasant way) than the initial taste before.

Decent. Choose above Japanese lagers, but not much else.
