Pours clear and yellow, bubbly foam that goes down quickly, and a decent amount of carbonation.

Aroma is lemon, some citrus, some malts. Not much else. Kind of mild. Expected, though.

Taste is light, malty, mild bitterness. Lemon profile comes out with the hops.

Mouthfeel is rather dry in the finish, but this is light and fairly drinkable.

The appearance is OK, with a clear amber and white neck (that should retain more, since it is a German Lager). The aroma reminisces graham crackers, with a controlled diacetyl taste. The malt profile is strong, and the hop profile has both the Hallertauer nobleness and the Cascade exuberance. In the taste, the cascade becomes even more discrete. I don't think there is an harmony between malt and hops, but it does not compromise the quality of this beer. The mineral taste in the water is welcome, and the finish leaves us with a very pleasant hoppy taste.
