2L growler from the Century Park location, but made by the team at Oliver Square - hey, it's a German style, so what did you expect? I got an extra liter gratis, since they have problems filling howlers - maybe they should talk to the other half dozen growler bars around town who have no such qualms. Anyways, free sudz, yay!
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly ecru head, which leaves some decent fossilized ancient sea creature lace around the glass as things evenly melt away.
It smells of semi-sweet, grainy caramel malt, toffee thins, baked apples and pears, a touch of metallic alcohol, and very tame earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, hard taffy, a bit of generic yeastiness, muddled pome fruity notes, a twinge of toasted white biscuits, further free-range dusty ash, and some plain weedy, leafy, and slightly perfumed floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite light-handed via its effervescent frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, just a wee stoney booziness kind of acting the fool, it would seem. Things finish up sweet, but in a nicely toasty and warm sense, so any fears of an emergency tongue-scraping are still unfounded.
Overall, a pleasant and easy-going strong bock, for the lingering Spring days we still have ahead of us, where the rain, it needs to fall more mainly on our plains (not to mention the grass in my yard). Oh, yeah, the beer - it's good, simple in the best way, and well drinkable - you know, German.
