Sweet. Not surprsing given the low attenuation and consequent higher than predicted FG. ABV dropped from a predicted 5.1% to 4.7%.
No depth to flavor; more of a single flavor note. Might change with more time. Perhaps should have left in fermenter another week as well (was only 3 weeks total).
Low carbonation (again). However, it was only chilled from 70F to 40F in the bottle for a few hours. Probably needs a good 3 to 4 days of chilling to get CO2 into the beer more effectively. Also need to work on head retention.
