500ml can purchased at the Costco in Overland Park, Kansas as part of the 2021 Advent Calendar (this was day 4). The pour is bright clear golden yellow with a 1 ½ inch foamy white head that is quite lasting. The aroma is grass and sweet malt with some nice mineral earth towards the back. The taste is softly honey sweet malt, maybe a bit of clove, and finishing with the mineral earth in the finish. The palate is medium bodied with active carbonation and the clean mineral finish. Solid Oktoberfest.
