Tapped from wooden barrel at the monastery brewpub, multiple times throughout the years. Golden, moderately hazy body, with a big, frothy, lacing, white head. Aroma of grains, grass, flowers, herbs, citrus, sweet honey like malts. Tastes of grains, bread, earth, must, grass, smooth honey, some herbs, some fruity, citric hops. Medium, a bit creamy mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation. Finishes perfect, smooth, medium bitter, with earth, grains, spicy hops. This has really grown on me over the years, hands down my favorite Lager from Austria! Really natural, grainy and earthy aroma, with a perfect balance between rustic hops, smooth sweet malts and a lovely, creamy character despite the lighter body. Extremely quaffable, yet also surprisingly complex for the style, on par with Franconian Lagers! Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 5 / 17
