Enjoyed in Zurich
Big pillowy creamy head retains well thanks to streaming bubbles, crystal clear honey tan color, nice thick lacing
Nose plenty of lager malts, straw, raw bread dough, little corn husk, earthy notes, little lager fruity
Taste brings a little doughy straw malt, grain husk, little earthy touch mineral metallic, crisp lager and fruity notes, cracker and corn husk, mild sweet, hint hop bitterness and herbal. Drier hint lager crispness and little sticky
Mouth med to lighter bod, decent carb

500ml brown bottle, sample from the importer.
The head drops down to the thin layer of lacing, does a good job of staying around. Mildly hazed amber hue. Spicy hop, fresh wood, yeast, & nutty grain in the nose. Full malt jacket with a semi-dry palate. A kiss of malty sweetness up front fades and lets the wood and modest hopping balance. Spice and tannin meet earthy and nutty tones. While it stay true to being a lager in many ways the flavor profile walks a different path. Something different for sure, glad I was able to try it.
