The aroma is strong, crisp and malty with fruity and spicy hints. Flavor is malty and crisp with hints of fruit, citrus and cloves. Texture is tingly and a little rough.

Overall Impression:
I didn’t really enjoy this one all that much. A fairly typical example of the style, but also on the boring side. I wouldn’t rush out for this one again.

I was pretty underwhelmed by this one. Tastes like Coors lite. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just that Coors lite costs about 80% less. Light pale blond, very subtle flavors of coriander and citrus.

This one was a gem. Very hard to come by in the states because it isn’t being bottled. Tried it at the Atlantic City Beer Festival this year and also got it in a growler from Bierkraft in Brooklyn. Pours a super cloudy yellow / white and has the softest / creamiest taste of any white beer I’ve sampled. One of my favorite beers of all time for pure pleasurable drinkability.
Serving type: growler
