Had this on 2017-02-01 in Naperville, IL on tap at Lou Malnati's pizzareia.
Mild aroma. Decent caramel, spice and light roasted grain.

Pours ultra-clear and very copper in color. Thin, spotty head with some tan and white hues forms but dissipates very quickly that
Aroma has some sweet caramel, hints of lighter citrus fruits and a hint of medicinal herbs.
Flavor is toffee and caramel underpinings combined with a very fruity and herbal bitterness. The Tettnang seems to add some very light fruity flavors. Little bit of grass also detected.
Mouthfeel is somewhat light and dry overall with some sweet malts upfront cut the herbal and fruity hop. Bitterness adds just a tan of spiciness as well as a touch of salt.
Drinkability was solid if not unspectacular. Well-crafted brew but not quite malty enough for style in my opinion. Sort of a very light bock.

Sampled on Tap at GI Clybourne
This beer is almost clear and is a full copper color that has a thin tan head sitting atop it. The aroma is lightly sweet with spicy floral notes, hints of tropical fruit, strawberries and fresh cut herbs. The taste is dry at first but then moves to a malty sweetness that has a serious caramel kick to it. This beer is also quite spicy and herbal in a hoppy way and it finishes with a clean bitterness. I get notes of fruit (strawberry predominantly) in this beer which seems to be derived from the Tettnanger hops. This is quite a nice beer, quaffable, refreshing, and it has a nice solid hop contribution throughout.
