Gold with a foamy, white head. Citrus, juniper, fruit-candy aroma. Taste is bitter with strong menthol undertones. Finishes much the same, mildly citric, with more menthol. At the very end, a sudden cereal bitterness more reminiscent of Helles. Medium-bodied , moderate carbonation, dry, too rough and unbalanced to feel refreshing. Drinkable though, says the Frau.
