Picked up a bottle of this while in Santiago, Chile in early January, 2011. Bottle date shows Nov.18, 2010/May 18, 2011). Enjoyed on 5/13/2011 from a Delirium snifter.

A: Initially pours a pale golden straw color, clear, with little head. As i get closer to the bottom of the bottle, the beer pours with more sediment and begins to cloud. Wisps of white head rest at the top of the beer.

N: Estery yeast with a hint of lemon--not overpowering--with what I perceive to be a slight soapy note.

T/M: Very malt forward with slight hints of lemony hops. Estery notes rest in my mouth at the back of my tongue. Malt notes are buttery with a light sweetness. Not super rich or over powering; tastes similar to a bottle conditioned bock.

I did not have a chance to visit this brewery while in Chile, however I was fairly impressed with their beers. Szot has some impressive beers that venture outside the realm of traditional German-style lagers (the typical Chilean craft-style).
