Erntebier, which means "harvest beer."

Appearance: Amber, some dark orange on a nice tight snow whote head. Cloudy due to being unfiltered and unpasteurized.

Aroma: Pils malts, honey, citrus, a cross between pils & other grains. A yeasty smell is strong, too.

Flavor:
Front: citrus, lots of tartness… pils malts. A hint of strong bitterness, but only fleeting.
Mid: here you get more tartness, citrus, some Noble hop grassiness, and on sides sweet and sour.
Back: here is the caramel, almost honey, the darker roasted flavors, very sweet, almost too much, but it's saved by the astringency of rye and Dinkel, almost spicy.

Aftertaste: sweet and citrus.

Mouthfeel: quite thin. Here you can tell the other grains are present. It's ok but I wouldn't mind this beer to be thicker.

Overall: Not bad. Complex flavors, sweet, tart and other grain flavors. refreshing, but still could be thicker.
