Can at home picked up from HOTM. 4.8% An attractive crystal clear golden coloured pour with a lasting rocky white head. Aroma is clean lager yeast, light apple, some cereal, light tang, hint of earth. Flavour is composed of crisp light grains, clean lager notes, light apple, biscuit hint of earth, hint of leafy hops, hit of metal. Has a very classic lager taste. Goes down very well. Palate is super crisp, rounded, high spritzy carbonation. Good.
