22oz bottle split with Anndiesel. Filtered copper-orange. Steady off-white head. Doughy, fruity aroma..nice and fresh..despite it being the end of November. Classic German malt and noble hops. Really well done, true to style, but still a touch original. This is really World Class stuff, a great Ale, that still manages to have some really sublime malt and yeast tones.

Clear deep gold with a tall, mostly white head. Clean fresh grapefruit hop aroma, some pine also. The flavor is lightly bitter that follows all the way into the finish. Easy drinking, not too complex, but gets the job done.
