A Dead Giveaway

I was about seventeen when I poured my mom a beer she was to enjoy over dinner. She has about 2-3 beers a year.

I poured it perfectly, effortlessly, tilting the glass just the right angle to avoid the foam. I poured all of the contents of the tinted bottle into the chilled tumbler in one smooth stroke. When it was over, the beer made a soft hiss. I handed it to her with a smile.

She remarked, "I see you've done this before."

Well, whaddaya know?
