Bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours clear lager yellow with a frothy white head. The aroma is soft, doughy vibes, rustic farmhouse bread, sweetness, custard creams, touch of creaminess/fattiness and cereal. The taste is crispy upfront, dry, toasty grain, bitter - sweet, cereal, doughy bread, biscuit, nutty and touch of damp grass/herbs with a drying finish. Average body and moderate, format carbonation. Perhaps errs toward being a touch sweet, but its enjoyable nonetheless.

Pours dark amber to light brown, translucent if seen through light. Quite huge slightest off white head, rather dense, showing excellent retention and very nice lacing. Pleasantly soft malty aroma has nutty and slight toffee notes, plus a light hint of chocolate, among a light (pleasant) buttery feel. Maybe a herbal hint to give it a touch of freshness. Taste notes more or less follow the aroma, with a herbal background a bit more evident, especially in the finish. Lacks the softness that the smell suggested though and feels slightly rough at the edges. Moderately on the sweet side in both taste and aftertaste, with a slight buttery hint. Quite light in body with average, very fine bubbled carbonation. Quite rustic like their helles, but didn't really catch me.

Hazy amber colour, white creamy foam. Light fruity, malty, bready, notes of biscuit, some hoppy notes. Very malt forward, easy drinkable, wonderfully balanced. Great one!
