Bottled. Clear bronze colour, near no head. Hay-like nose. Doughy and bready with soft but firm and chewy mouthfeel. Mild floral hops, growing late hay-like bitterness. Wonderfully well balanced. The malt character is just lovely - so much depth!

Draught at Café Abseits, Bamberg, Bavaria. Bronze colour, small creamy head. Dusty aroma. Dryish with some boiled vegetables and dense malt profile. Well light if flavour, and not as firm as I’d like it to be. Some late bitterness.
