500ml glass at the Biera resto-pub adjacent to the brewery. A lager created in concert with the German fellow who installed a large portion of the operation, apparently.
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and creamy off-white head, which leaves some solid bonsai tree lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly subsides.
It smells of grainy and crackery pale malt, a touch of biscuity caramel, mixed fruit bowl esters (red apple and generic citrus, mostly), and some peppy leafy, weedy, and musky floral green hop bitters. The taste is lightly toasted and gritty pale malt, a muddled orchard fruitiness, further free-range ashy notes (it might just be the wafting smoke from nearby forest fires), and more heady leafy, herbal, and gently perfumed floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly straightforward in its merely supportive frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a thin airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the roasted malt and floral hop character predominating.
Overall, this is a well-made strong European style lager, one nearing bock quality. Easy to drink, nicely warming, and quite flavourful, I could very well see having a few more of these, given the season and my particular disposition right now.
