This is fairly true to style in that it is more like a black pils than a lager-y porter or stout, like a lot of american-made schwarzes are - strong noble hop profile that is really the star of the show for most of the beer - dry and very crisp until a moderate black and roasted malt character become apparent near the finish - still, the stress here is on a clean, hoppy black lager - nice.
