Pours gold with obvious carbonation. A thin head which falls quickly into nothing. No lace. Aroma is moderate hops, spicy and herbal, with a light malt sweetness and slight alcohol scent. Taste has a good malt sweetness, honey. Hops come in strongly with sharp bitter spice that's enhanced with alcohol warming. Bitterness lingers long after a sip. Medium body, excellent carbonation. A decent lager crispness but I'd like more of it.

Thanks PEBKAC for the brew.
