Single decoction mash with 100% Weyermann Eraclea malt (grown near the Adriatic Sea northeast of Venice). Kettle hopped with Hallertau Magnum and Saphir then dry-hopped with strictly Saphir. Fermented with lager yeast, Fermentis SafLager 34/70. Lagered for four weeks. Dry, earthy, peppery, herbal, with a touch of floral and a pleasant bitterness. Crisp and drinkable. 4.8% ABV.

Can from explosivedog: pours golden with white head. Aroma is grassy, light citrus notes, herbal. Taste is lightly bitter, loads of herbal and lightly fruity notes. A little raw generally. Still good.

16 oz. Aroma is herbal, grassy, bready. Pours mostly clear golden with a one finger head that collapses into a ring pretty quickly. Taste has a relatively moderate to high herbal hop bitterness with a significant bready malt sweetness alongside. Carbonation is a little soft. I love the bitterness, but I wish the malt was dialed back just a bit. Good beer, though.
