12oz bottle, 2014 edition, and part of a mixed sixer from the Liquor Mart on south Colorado Blvd in Denver. An apparent fund raiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association - glad to do my very small part.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium bronzed amber hue, with two fingers of puffy, tightly foamy, and mildly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a few wayward specks of suds-splatter 'lace' around the glass as things quickly recede.
It smells of bready, sort of pastry-adjacent caramel and toffee malt, indistinct orchard fruit, a hint of black licorice, and earthy, weedy hops. The taste is more of the same - heady caramel malt, stale toffee candies, a weird root-borne sweetness, and muddled noble hops - dead grassy and allergy season florals coming to mind.
The bubbles are pretty underwhelming in their wan attempt at support or distraction, the body a so-so medium weight, and smooth enough to erase the memory of the majority of this sentence. It finishes on an unexpected drying trend, the malt sort of turning tail, while the giddy hops realize that they have the run of the house.
A decent rendition of this uncommon German style - the tempered maltiness and snooping old-world hop character providing an interesting, and generally drinkable experience. Worthy of not turning down if you're in Colorado, for multiple reasons - I can't believe that I'm the only one to review this, on both major beer sites - huh.
