Poured a nice light red amber with a great head that lasted and left nice lacing.
Aroma was light dry hops and caramel malt.
Taste. Ugggh. Dry hops and seltzer water. Told them it tasted funny. Went back later to try again, still the same taste.
Mouthfeel watery thin.
Drinkability not good. I had problems with the taste.

Poured a dark amber with a short lived off white head. Aromas of caramel malt and an ever so slight smokiness. I would have liked a little more presence here. Mouthful was a bit thinner than expected, but not a bad thing. Low carbonation. Taste was fruity, nutty and caramel, with a dry puckering finish. This thing went down all too well, thanks to the lower abv.

A very enjoyable, drinkable bier with healthy doses of caramel malt goodness.
