Nitro at the brewery, 7/5/24. Clear, black. Beige head, creamy, full. Fresh mineral and easygoing unmalted barley. Clean, aromatic, not over-roasted. Soft, rich, malty, but drying and thinning in the finish properly, adding to drinkability. Mineral and base malt with very tasteful amounts of darker malts/barley. Excellent minerality and water quality.
