Light amber pour. Smells of toasted caramel malt. Tastes sweet, but not overly so, with bready, toasted caramel malt. Light hops bitterness in the finish. Easy drinking and pretty tasty.

Can from clearance rack. Off pale light brown clear pour. Malty delicate fest nose. Good uptake, comes across rather pleasant. Good level of co2 as well. Very friendly for a domestic fest beer. Seems to be well made. Cant really pick out any ill attributes. Very much like the real stuff from the old country. Yes, I'm enjoying this in the middle, makes me want to savor it a bit. A tad of sweetness but its well controlled with a mildly toasty interesting character. Never cloying. I think these guys know what they're doing when it comes a satisfying fest beir. Thanks TG! A little aging has no effect on the quaffability of this brew.

Canned 07/11/2023, drunk 2/28/24. Clear, deep bronze-copper. Large, off-white head is well-retained. Malty with rich honey, caramel, biscuit, baked bread and a light dusting of herbal hops. Very clean. In flavor it's malty, with rich bread and caramel, light vanilla and plentiful biscuit. Some deep, well-integrated, lush, herbal hops add pleasing, mild bitterness and the balance is excellent with good malt depth and attenuation. Clean and satisfying.
