"Unsurprisingly moist"
Beer tasting notes are very often a bit cringe-worthy. I once called something a "toothsome splash" on this blog, and I've never heard the end of it from a couple of pals. It's hard to say essentially the same thing about a hundred different beers in a way that reads well. That's why I've largely given up.
An effort on Hip Hops - written by Eddie, one my bar staff, and his flatmate James - really did make me laugh. They describe St Austell Tribute as "unsurprisingly moist". Lovely stuff.
This week, my stewardship of this boozer has been a little like an extended Dean Martin impression. Am beginning to feel the effects. Thank Crunchie it's Friday.

If a beer can't inspire you to say something original about it, that is probably a quality of the brew and not of your writing.
It is hard to say the same thing over and over again. I imagine it is the same with reviewing just about anything - books, cars, movies, food...
It is seldom that we find something truly extraordinary. If a review seems common or mundane, perhaps it is because the beer is exactly that.
All Beers taste like toffee or jellybean to me anyhow.
jk.
