(draft @ Hofbrauhaus Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh, PA - Rating #2800) Clear caramel/brown pour with a thin tan head. Lightly nutty caramel and malt aroma with a very mild hop backbone. Sweet and malty at the start of the flavor with some very smooth nut and caramel malts flavors. Slightly sweet on the aftertaste and very smooth.

Tap at hofbrau haus Pittsburgh. Nice caramel notes on the nose. Pours Lehigh brown with a small khaki head. Rounded malt notes on the tongue. They don’t overpower but they’re hanging around. Clean finisher. Solid.

Nice looking brew, darker caramel coloring. Nice and toasty, but not overwhelming. Enjoyed this quite a bit but moved on after one to try the weizen. Would definitely try again.
