Can - oh my, they did this one right - turbid gold - creamy and full texture in the mouth - bready but dry, with a light tartness on the back end - big white pepper spiciness, with background clove notes - simultaneously refreshing and full - not quite as good as Weihenstephaner, but man is it close.
