Presentation: 12 oz green bottle with a no freshness date.

Appearance: Bright and sparkling pale golden colour, the big frothy white head does wins my eyes over.

Smell: Clean and fresh grassy aroma of “just milled” malt and slightly flowery hop oil.

Taste: The crispness is spot on and raises the refreshing level of this beer, a big mouthful of grain hits the palate with fresh cut hay and bitter noble hop flavours. Biscuity and slightly doughy flavours hit middle to end showing the freshness of the brew.

Notes: This lager has grown on me over the summer and has won a spot in my fridge, a plate of grilled bratwurst and braised cabbage went perfect with this brew.

Poured a 330ml bottle into a Sam Adams glass. Poured a clear pale gold with almost no head and no lacing. Aroma is sweet with notes of bread and maybe green apple (there's a certain tart feeling to it). The taste is very malt forward, with the same flavors as the aroma and a nice hit of hop bitterness on the finish. There is slightest bit of carbonation and the mouthfeel is a little bit thin and both a really quite nice. A great German lager, simple and well made.

A: Pale blonde; pretty translucent, head all but disappears after initial pour. Very little lacing. Bubbles rise to the top like a champagne.

S: Not the greatest; somewhat metallic, but could be result of can.

T: Crisp and bright! A happy beer that conjures a smile. Very enjoyable beer. Aftertaste is good too.

M: Can feel the spice on my tongue.

O: This is a beer you drink after a long day at work. Plop on the couch, pop some popcorn and watch/read something.
