Question of the Day

The Long String

I have a table (dbo.beer) with this data:

BeerIDBeerNamebrewerbeerdescription
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1BecksInterbrewBeck's is a German-style pilsner beer known for its golden color, full-bodied taste, and a crisp, clean finish with floral and fruity hop aromas, brewed according to the German purity law
2Fat TireNew BelgiumToasty malt, gentle sweetness, flash of fresh hop bitterness. The malt and hops are perfectly balanced.
3Mac n JacksMac & Jack's BreweryThis beer erupts with a floral, hoppy taste, followed by a well rounded malty middle, finishing with a nicely organic hop flavor. Locally sourced two row grain and a blend of specialty malts give our amber its rich taste.
4Alaskan AmberAlaskan BrewingAlaskan Brewing Amber Ale is an "alt" style beer, meaning it's fermented slowly and at colder temperatures, resulting in a well-balanced, richly malty, and long-lasting flavor profile with a clean, pleasing aftertaste.
8KirinKirin BrewingKirin Ichiban is a Lager-type beer, which means it is fermented at low temperatures and offers a light and refreshing texture with a smooth and balanced flavor.
Here is the DDL For the table: 
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Beer]
(
[BeerID] [int] NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1),
[BeerName] [varchar] (20) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[brewer] [varchar] (20) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[beerdescription] [varchar] (max) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
GO
I run this code: 
SET TEXTSIZE 20;
SELECT
  b2.BeerName
, b2.beerdescription
FROM dbo.Beer AS b2;
GO
What is returned?
