650ml bottle - 'I hope you enjoy drinking this beer, as much as...' oh, gag me with a pitchfork, already.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium copper amber colour, with a near teeming tower of puffy, chunky, and mildly fizzy ecru head, which leaves some decent layered tree growth lace around the glass as it slowly but surely subsides.
It smells of grainy and crackery pale malt, further mixed cereal notes, a subtle pome fruitiness, and some zingy leafy, weedy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a tint of biscuity caramel, some indistinct stone fruitiness, and more earthy, musty, and dead grassy 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-shoring frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and sort of smooth, as an uncertain pithiness starts to work its way in as things warm. It finishes off-dry, but not by much, with the mixed grainy character, and fading Saaz hop acridity coming to said conclusion.
Overall, this is an agreeable enough version of the style, yet with maybe a minor lack of the crispness one might have been expecting. At any rate, it's an approachable and quaffable lager, ideal for the looming dog days of summer, methinks.

Golden yellow with a nice head and lacing.
Big Saaz aroma, with a solid bitterness and hop flavour. Biscuity malt, with a gentle sulfur not.
Smooth, light to moderate body.
Easy drinker, with enough flavour to bring you back for more.
