Tap at the Taphouse Munich. Hazy pale golden, offwhite lace. Slightly Farty and meaty rural nose, perfumed. Medium light body, perfumed hops on light hay and grain body. Quick fizzlestick finish. Maybe a tad old, spice notes seem to have degenerated.

Can from Final Gravity in Roseville, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma brought ginger ale to mind. :) Med body or nearly. It's not all that dry, but the ginger is significant and wasabi pops into the finish of a quaff. Two of my favorite flavors. Wish we were having sushi tonite.

Can. Amber beer with a cream head. Malt and light mineral aroma. Ginger and malt flavor with light mineral notes. Medium bodied. Ginger and malt linger with light mineral notes and light caramel.

Pint can. It pours a medium gold color. Strangely muted with an off white head. The aroma is very estery for a Pils with lots of apple and pear notes. Some bread crust and maybe a hint of sweeter biscuit malt. The flavor is a little better with more bready malt. It still has some light pear notes and some spicy noble hops. Maybe a whisper of candied ginger, but no spiciness or any wasabi for that matter. No heat whatsoever. This surprises me considering the concept of this beer and the brewer, although I can’t say I’m disappointed. A bit boring overall and a bit estery for a Pils, but not as bad as it could’ve been, I suppose.
