Sampled together with Dr. Beer. Sampled blindly in black glassware. Smell is very clean, typical low fermentation. Mild malty ( crisp) , light hopnotes. Distant but present bitterness. When shaken, some alcohol ( not too much, but more than the average lager) Taste is rather full, malty, aromatic, bit bready. Mild hops. Caramel notes. Some aftertaste of bitterness, fading malts. Bit bready. Bit thicker MF than an average lager.
