Yields a golden light brown color with a solid, froth smaller head atop. This is unusually bright in color for an Alt.

Smells of flowery, slightly spicy hops, together with caramel, wood bark and a note of toffee.

Has a light and well carbonated body, resulting in an easy drinking beer throughout.

Tastes of dry, leafy, grassy hops, unfolding a toffee malt accompanied bitterness among freshly toasted grains and whole grain bread. Has an earthy, grain forward mid palate, coated up by the herbal, dry hops and just a drop of caramel to sweeten things up a little. Finishes almost a bit smoky with lusciously sweet malts, straw and old lime zest, creating a crisp and elegant finish.

This is incredibly well balanced, featuring a perfect twist between rustic, sweet and spicy malts and herbal, dry hops, while showcasing a lovely, harmonious and easy drinking beer at the same time. I did expect a little more regarding its aromas, since this is supposed to be dryhopped with quite a bit of Tettnanger which I find hard to detect on the nose at all.
