Slightly cloudy gold color with a leggy top of snow white foam. Nose is a bit like fresh water from the garden hose, some noble hop, and doggy malt. Definitely a bit of year in the palate, with a light (but definitely there) noble hop character. Still that bready malt, and some slight sodium of softened water. Hearty and filling considering its paleness.

16oz can. Amber-brown body, transparent. Steady, large beige head. Rich caramel malts, really nice stuff, reminds me of Bamberg. Some hop tone as well gives it some nice balance depth. Fantastic stuff, by far the best Stein beer I've ever had.
