Draught at Tortas Frontera, 7/31/18.
Golden-to-light copper body is clear with a small, off-white head that shows moderate-to-low retention.
Clean, though with a bit of waxy character that comes with the territory. Light bready malt character in the background but with fresh, herbal hops and light honey. Good balance of dry and malty with nothing strange going on.
In the mouth it's substantial and quite malty for a lager, which is nice, as it's well-attenuated. Some waxiness is the only detractor, but that seems to be a normal character of this yeast. Hints of sourdough with dried and fresh herb character from the hops. Light bitterness, no alcohol or flaw. Quite drinkable.
