rkuhnel (1100), Eureka, California, USA Apr 10, 2008 From a 500 ml bottle this poured nice clear amber with a big foamy off-white head and copious lacing. Nose of caramel malts and grassy hops. Fairly rich mouthfeel. Flavor is caramel, with some fruit now showing. Somewhat dry and lightly bitter finish. A very good German beer that is easy to drink.
