2.53/5  rDev 0%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 2 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.5
Presentation: in a 1/2 litre bottle with a "grolsch-type" flip-top

Appearance: dark brown, slightly hazy, a medium layer of tan foam, good head retention

Aroma: grainy, malty, a bit of roast, caramel, touch of hops, yeast

Flavor: dry malt base with an almost "salty" overtone (weird!), coffee-like tanginess, a noticeable hop/roast bitterness makes it even more dry in the finish, aftertaste is all roast and hops

Mouthfeel: medium body, tight carbonation, minerally

Overall Impression: Another generous gift from one of my colleagues, purchased at the site the original brewery in Monchau, Germany (now just a museum). It's pretty fresh tasting, but the hop bitterness is a bit acerbic. This one uses hop extract as well. By the name, Hefe-trub, I'm assuming it is krausened at bottling for natural carbonation, but I'm not sure if this is the case.
