Pour is like red gold, with small, fine, delicate off-white head of surprising retention. Aromas are grainy, and faint berry-like esters. Biscuity, bready throughout, not as grainy as I expected, with vinous notes and excellent suggestions of pear, apple, and again, berry. Tiniest amount of fairly nondescript hops in the back. Light-bodied but plenty thick with effervescence. Crisp, cleaner finish, refreshing.

Pour from a 12oz bottle into a pokal... beer is a clear pale straw gold with a fizzy one-finger head that quickly disappears to nothing. No lacing.
Aroma is light, just a bare hint of hops and sweet malt.
Flavor is sweet up front, light white grape and pear notes, leading to a slightly dry green tea-like finish. Very mild and delicate.
Mouth feel is light, crisp, refreshing. Highly carbonated.
Overall, a nice beer in a rather uncommon style. Would have liked just a touch more hop presence.
