Tap at Braustelle. Murky, reddish brown colour with average, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Rather unspecific and expressionless, fruity hoppy aroma and taste. ???

Keg at GBBF, 2015. Nose is oak, butter, yogurt, lemon. Hmm, must either be strangely oak aged or else this uses Sorachi Ace. Cloudy brown, rather ugly. Taste like big sorachi. Ok.
