North Coast Red Seal Ale

20180730:
I was testing out a new way of recording beer notes via Google Forms, but the procedure had a vulnerability: notes can easily be lost via a page refresh or hitting back. In fact, I lost some progress this way. I will return to my old method of sending myself an email via text.* In any case, the form reads as follows:

Appearance: Orange-Yellow, Clear
Smell: Sweet, Malty
Taste: Bitterness, not so sweet. More bitterness. Hmm.

North Coast Red Sea Ale - bottle, bottle cap, full glass

Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation.
Overall: My first impression (after the first four ounces) is that I don't like this beer.
Overall Rating: 2

Going back to notes via text message, I noted that my nasal passages were good; I was able to forcibly breathe through my nose with ease ("BE"). 11:30 PM PT

I eventually finished the beer, but there wasn't any taste or flavor worth noting. My nasal breathing was somewhere between being able to forcibly breathe through my nose with medium difficulty and hard difficulty ("BM" and "BH"). 20180731 2:42 AM PT

*The Google Forms method ensures I hit the various bullet points (Appearance, Smell, Taste, Mouthfeel), while the texting method will save a draft, the submitted note exists in two places (phone and email), and can help provide timestamps.
