Bottle: Poured a clear light brown/copper color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet of caramel malt with some hints of toffee is pretty good. Taste is a good balanced mix between some sweet caramel malt notes with hits of toffee and subtle dry fruits. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I didn’t pick-up much of the resin hops as expected but I’m almost glad I didn’t because the malt bill is pretty perfect as- is and there is no need mess with it.

Schon zu Beginn ist das Bier gelungen getreidig und würzig, fast aber zu süß. Auch der Alkohol ist erkennbar. Die Getreidigkeit bleibt lange erhalten, die Würzigkeit nimmt dabei sogar noch etwas zu. Hier ausgewogener, auch wenn die Süße immer noch etwas stört. 12/12/11/12//12
