Pours a nice gold colour with a large fluffy head. A bit metallic and grainy on the smell. The taste has your typical corny/grainy/biscuity notes but this one has an unusual spicy flavour that I cannot pinpoint at this time. Quite nice

Clear pale straw color. Pours a thin head made of mixed bubble sizes which quickly dropped down to a thin, patchy skiff. Low rate flow of tiny bubbles from the bottom and the side of the glass. No lacing.
The scent is a mix of light malt, yeast, and some mild green vegetable I couldn't place. There is also a faint sweet scent. Swirling the glass kicked up a more robust malt, more of the green vegetable, and a hint of barnyard. This smells both more robust and a little dirtier than a typical lager.
Started slightly sweet with the green vegetable showing up, and then a very nice light malt kept coming in waves. Much cleaner taste than expected from the smell. Tastes more robust than a typical lager. The aftertaste is mostly the malt and the light barnyard shows up again for a few seconds. Not quite true to the style, but the stronger malt is a pleasant diversion from the stock character.
Quickly turns into a creamy foam. This is not expected given the visual low carbonation. The cream turns into larger bubbles that cause a very light tongue tingling. Medium-light body.
This has wandered a little too far from the traditional style, but that isn't a bad thing. The more robust flavor and feel is more like kölsch than lager. This difference from standard becomes more obvious as it warms up and opens into very ale flavor territory. Very pleasant experience overall, but the lower overall score is due to the deviations from standard.
