Bamberg Helles

Brewery draught, 2/1/23. Clear, brassy-blonde. Small, white head. Nose is a bit dense to start with some berry-like yeast character that smells a bit odd/off. Hints of softer smoke emerge on the finish, with cracker malts and low hops. Gets better as it breathes. The flavor persists from the nose (the weird floral/yeasty one) but again fades as the beer warms/breathes. Otherwise it's a very straightforward white bread with soft smoke and a medium-light body. Just something slightly off here, though it still drinks fine.
