3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Yellow, with chill haze. Aroma is quite fruity (lemon, apricot, faint banana) - especially considering it was made with a lager yeast. There were also some faint husky notes. Light body. Smooth underlying maltiness at first - pity this didn't carry through to the finish, where it would really have done some good. The finish did have a hint of hallertau. Good attempt, though, considering there were a couple of deviations from tradition.

Tap at Dragonmead. Pale golden pour. Lightly hoppy with a light touch of amber malt character as well. A little bit sweet and worty smelling. Grainy and quite cereal-like with some lingering sweetness. Not very clean but not really estery either. A little bit minerally and herbal with a kiss of light bitterness. Grassy but not really well-integrated. More pale lager than kolsch.
