(swing top bottle) Clear, deep golden to amber colour with a fluffy, persistent, slightly off-white foamy head. A bit shy and slightly sweet toast-malty aroma with distinctive notes of caramel and a touch of herbal and slightly metallic hops. Sweet-bitter flavour, slim bodied with a crispy carbonation. Soft and slightly toasted malty taste, light notes of caramel and herbal accents. Dry and slim, slightly bitter and spicy, herbal hoppy finish. Pretty drinkable low alcohol brew with Landbier character.

A very fine sample from good old Franconia......
