355ml bottle poured into tulip 14/8/16

A some tiny suspended particles in an otherwise clear straw yellow, a finger of foam hangs around long enough to leave a partial ring

S apple, pear, sweet grains, lots of grass, bread, not sure where the faint chewing gums coming from

T some citrus didn't smell, lots of sweet grains and dried grass and hay, maybe even some purple grape?

M mild bitter bite, fairy crisp, clean other then a little grass, light and refreshing

O not a bad hot weather brew, enough going on to keep you from getting board and easy enough to drink

Not a bad lager for a hot day, nothing to go searching for but I'd happily drink another if handed to me

355ml bottle - no. 5 in their 'The Raw Series' line of unfiltered offerings.

This beer pours a mostly clear, medium golden yellow colour, with one chubby finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some receding cannonball splash lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.

It smells of bready and biscuity pale malt, oaten breakfast cereals, a soft earthy yeastiness, some middling light orchard stone fruit notes, and leafy, grassy, and faintly piney green hop bitters. The taste is more of the same - grainy and crackery pale malt, ethereal caramelized cereal, white breakfast biscuits, faint apple and generic citrus peel, and more lively earthy, leafy, and grassy hoppiness.

The bubbles are adequate in their supportive, and sometimes come-hither frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, just a wee tithe being taken by that otherwise welcome biscuity character. It finishes trending dry, the complex malt starting to admit who the star of the show really is here.

Wow - glad to see this brewing concern taking no prisoners in rendering a rather impressive version of an old-world Teutonic style. Lots of varied malt flavours, nice and full-seeming, and with more than a nod to some generally off-setting noble hops. In my humble opinion, this is an easy-drinking summertime tipple, incarnate.
