Brewed with German malt, German noble hops and German yeast. No modern twists no fancy new hop varieties, all that is added is passion and patience.

Can picked up at Pursuit of Hoppyness, Glasgow. It pours clear yellow - blonde with a medium, bubbly white head. The aroma is soft, fresh , clean, malt - focused, biscuit, sponge cake, muffin, bread, floral, grassy, herbal and a pleasing stone fruit character (apricot, peach & mango). The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, smooth bready malt, sponge cake, biscuit, toasty grains, leafy, grassy, muted herbal accents, dull mint, stone fruits, apricot, peach, permission and tangerine peel. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Well crafted, balanced and quaffable. Nicely done.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - golden and clear with a nicely proportioned off-white head.
Nose - orange barley water, light bread, a hint of toffee.
Taste - sweet malts, dried orange peel and some fresh orange, almost zest too.
Palate - light bodied, refreshing finish.
Overall - nice, better than most examples from Koln, I'd like to say.
