Bright, grainy lager, with a pale malt sweetness accented by cracker, lemon, white bread, and a touch of apple, followed by a firm earthy-floral bitterness. Very nice pint.

Bottle to mug.
Appearance: rusty yellow to almost copper color with a one and a half fingers of white foamy head, dissipated to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: clean biscuity/bready/cracker malts balancing in some light grassy/earthy hops
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas semi-sweetly, mild aftertaste of the malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth along the tongue, finishes crisp, clean and malty
Overall: nicely done kellerbier worthy of coming back to.

Aromas are malt, dry grain, lumber and a bit of funk. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, on the sweet side, with some bitter and decent carbonation to balance. Body is a tad full. Good but not great.

16 oz can from Total Wine - Daytona Beach, FL. Pours a hazy light gold color with a large white head and great retention. Decent lacing. Lots of streaming bubbles. Generic beer aroma. Bready malt flavor with a soft finish. Tastes like a very mellow golden ale. Light body. Lightly crisp. No bitterness. Very easy drinking. Well made.
