Bottle at Sander’s place, NYC. Pours clear gold with a fine, white foam head. Crispy malts, some dry straw and grapefruit, moderate bitterness. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Clean, light bitter finish, some dry pale malts, grapefruit and other dried citrus. Very nice.

Pours a clear golden color with a frothy white head that is constantly propped up by a steady stream of carb bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Aromas of citrus, lemon, pine, spicy rye, apricots, earth, and a hint of bready malt. The flavor follows the aroma with an emphasis on the spiciness of the rye and the crisp dryness of the lager. Lots of hops flavor and bitterness with earthy and pine being the dominant flavors. Medium body with a moderate to high level of carbonation and a bitter resinous mouthfeel. This is a well made lager, but sadly its just not my thing. I think the spice from the rye, combined with the heavy hop load, lack of yeasty esters, and very light malt backbone make this one a bit hard for me to enjoy.

50cl bottle pours a slightly hazy, deep gold color with some frothy, white head. Nose gave me flashbacks of grabbing my dad a beer as a kid. Pretty sure he never drank anything this good. Big yeasty, malty aroma invites you right in, honey, sugary malt, orange, rye bread, some caraway seed, some light pine, a little lemon. The nose doesn’t really reveal totally the delicious hoppiness of the flavor. The flavor is perfectly balanced, sweet oranges, candied lemon peel, light grapefruit, sugary malt, honey, bread dough, spicy rye. Medium bodied, dry, citrus, spicy finish. With this was local for me because I would buy it by the case.

Pours hazy gold into a stein. Bright white head pancakes as it recedes leaving chunky lacing. Sweet lemon and spicy rye and resin aromas. Soft and thin with sweet caramel upfront turning to pumpernickel before the lasting bitter lemon pith finish.
