Clean, light amber colour with golden highlights, a warm off-white head, decent retention and a nice foamy collar, some coating the brew. Malty nose with cereal grains, a touch of maple syrup, rye, caramel and even getting some peaty action, like barrel whiskey. The taste is not overly sweet - like what you think it will be. Cereal malts, a tad caramel, but some good blending hops to lightly dry the finish. Not syrupy, not too thick. A mild warming, boozy feel. Quite an easy-drinking, very strong Pilsner that is worth trying.
