Capped 750 from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours bright, dark, ruddy copper with a yellowish beige head. Nice aroma of malt - not just sweet, but with a cool tanginess. Near full bodied. Flavor is nice, somewhat roasty malt, clearly not dry, but there's some hop that balances and makes it seem cooly refreshing, sort of. For me there's a tang to the malt and a tang to the hop - I'm just thinking it's got some Perle cause mint comes to mind. It is a very tasty doppelbock. Seek it out.
