Pours quite on the dark side for the style, a dark golden to light orange, looks more golden and on the translucent side through light, more orangeish otherwise. A pretty big and pillowy whithe head, shows quite good retention and nice lacing. Quite good intensity in a plesant aroma: soft white bread, hay, a hint of caramel, perhaps the slightest buttery hint, relatively strong dry floral hops, grassiness, just a thin hint of citricness. Taste shows a quite unusual dryiness and hoppiness, with maltiness more in the back than the smell suggested: a light cerealy/hay, slightly crackery base, again a hint of soft, perhaps slightly buttery feeling, then a pretty strong dry floral hoppiness, with a light background of citricness. Finish and aftertaste feel pretty dry too, quite leafy/tea-like and on the bitter side. A quite clean and interesting enough taste profile on the overall, but the dryiness seems to take away a bit too much from the freshness i'd expect to find in a svetle. Quite light in body with average, soft bubbled carbonation; feels quite easy and delicately lively in the mouth. Overall: an interesting and tasty svetle, quite classic but with a much more pronounced dry character than usual; a very nice beer in it's components, maybe not as much accomplished as a whole.
