Pours light gold, it has a deepness and brilliance to it, very close to crystal clear with an attractive white head, slow to settle, lacks retention once it does.

First thing that popped out of the glass for me was spicy grass like hops; these notes die down fast, upon settling and warming there is freshly milled malt along and fresh baked bread that has slight graininess.

Taste is more about the malt than early nose suggested; beautiful pale malt; bread, again fresh, full and finishing with great melanoidin presence; hops are tame but noticeable; lightly spicy on the finish with a touch of grass presence.

Light body with great fullness of malt complexity present; quick drying finish, a beer that vanishes when the sip is gone; light and balanced hops on the tongue with just a pleasing tad of bitterness; smooth carbonation.

Great flavor for a lager. Pours a rich golden color and thick head. Slightly sharp tongue feel. It had a refreshing taste, nice to add to a summer day.
Not usually a lager drinker but I highly recommend this one
