When I tasted my first bottle I was extremely disappointed in the taste, carbonation and clarity. Once I let it site for another week the beer cleared just fine and pour very clear but not crystal clear. All bottles carbed just fine and the taste brightened up considerably. "A very drinkable beer, wanted another one once I was done." quote from a friend and fellow brewer who sampled a bottle for me.
