Wow, had no idea what to expect for a hopless beer. This was incredible, had I not tried the raspberry Eisbock, this would have been far and away my favorite beer during my visit to Kuhnhenn. Light gold color, with a decent white head. Smells of lightly sour/bitter herbs, ripe green apples and other tart fruits. Opens up with with the mouthfeel of a cider, fairly light and bubbly, but with a taste of pure balance and goodness. Had plenty of fruit character, kind of reminded me of Ocean spray cran-raspberry. Good malt flavor balances it, and it has a nice sour twang on the finish. New style for me and, here we go again, I'm off to hunt down more gruit and waste more time finding rare and eccentric beers. . .gotta love beer.
