Draft at Even Flow, Geneva. Color is almost amber in a nice tall glass. Thin head that does not go away. Smell has that "salty peanut shell" note I sometimes get with soft water German lagers. Taste is pretty well in the style, but it's a little sugary. Malt is a little richer than the regular lagers go. But I think this kind of needs to look for more hops.

12oz can. Pretty weak offering. Rather gross aroma and flavor. I guess it approximates the worst flavor aspects of bad macro, but doesn't get the body right. The aroma is the worst part, off buttery foulness. I would be upset if I got a sixpack. This is bad, like Ukranian beer.
