Nice chewy body for a light crisp lager. But a bit oxidized at the Beertenple treatment. Ams

Keg at Beer Temple. A light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is fluffy and mildy dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a fairly sweet creamy vibe. Touches of wood and vanilla. A crisp and fairly ripe citrus and pine hop bite. Dry crisp finish. Quite dry then and that drastically reduces drinkability for me but overall, an entertaining lager.
