Mine was also very flat, having read the comments here, I'd tried to pour aggressively. No head.

Appropriately small beer, thinner body. Not overly hoppy, nice malt character, bit of grain character.

Mine was dead flat with some sizable chips out of the threads of the bottle (no glass chips in the beer, thankfully). I thought the level of bitterness was well-matched to the body of the beer.

My beer was flat as well. I liked the malt character. Thanks for the beer.

Mine had a bit of carb. Unfortunately there was a pretty strong bready yeast character. Malt backbone was nice, mild, would be a good easy drinking bitter but the yeast threw me off.
