Bottle from the Peacock Pack. Standard yellow lager appearance, lots of carbonation. There is an aroma of citrus and noticeable aroma of Schell's yeast. I like the flavor, with more citrus here, dry, moderately well hopped. Enough hop character you know it is not just another yellow lager.

Autumn Brew Review 2017. Almost no carbonation on this beer. Dark amber color. Light to moderately sour. Berry is very light, some roasted malt quality, make it reminiscent of a sour English style stout. The light coffee and cocoa blend together to add to the roasted flavor. Unusual and good.

Autumn Brew Review 2017. Hazy yellow color and a tall white head. Lighter aroma, some yeast. Lots of grapefruit with an iron/blood flavor, with a citrus finish. Very lightly sour, good palate. I wonder if this needs more time to develop.

I like the spicy malty Aromas and flavors though it's not too much like a traditional Berliner. Body is okay and so it's finish. It's nice to try once I don't know that I go back to it.
