Bottle thnx to the Lady working for Jessenhofke at ACBC . Bottle was only a few days old when I got it , so refermentation was done by myself . Pours very clear blonde, good white head . Smell is malty ( pilsner comes to mind ) bit sweet, complex grainyness ( probably from the use of mixed malts ) . Little bitter hint . Taste is Bitter, some grassy, green hoppyness ( no IPA hopyness at all ) with a sweet, full bodied grainyness behind it . Ends rather dry . Hops give a complex taste to the beer . Bit fruity aspects . VERY well done , this one !
