  Mouthfeel: like a pillow, not much bubble action, perfect blend

Mouthfeel: bubbly, turned into foam when left for a while. Finished: slightly buzzed. probably because I havent had beer in about a week. Good feeling, not overly full. Got the muchies. Overall: I wasn't a huge fan of the bitter taste, not a chugging beer due to the fact that it is not sweet. Great aftertaste though. Very beer-like.
