This was poured into a stange. The appearance was a ruddy burnt amber color with a sly transparency about it. Slim finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. The smell had a sweet cocoa powder to buttery smooth German yeastiness with a delicate floral to grassy underneath. The flavor takes the previously mentioned flavors to blend nicely. Very smooth from aftertaste to finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation rides fairly light. Nice wet feel all around. Overall, this was a damn nice altbier with the subtle cocoa powder underneath to round out. Also, as it warms, it reminds me of drinking nutella on toast.

 

 

 

 

brownish amber color, dense white head with good retention and spots of lace. sweet corn, grains, yeast, grass, light hoppiness on the nose. taste is much the same, sweet grains up front, bready malts and a hint of hops. mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth, creamy, probably the aspect of this beer that stands out most in my mind. overall definitely enjoyable but not really my style - worth trying for an easy drinking, refreshing brew.
