Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: woody to peppery spiciness up front, dry cedar whiffs gloss the middle; clean malts underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a dry sweet and spicy quality; finishes very dry through the Spanish cedar notes and peppery notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper I guess because of the dryness; slight smoothness but once again the dryness is persistent
Overall: probably one of the driest lagers and possibly up there with some other extremely dry beers I've had. Had to have a lot of water after this one.
