MaltDawg (1344) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - APR 6, 2008
.5L swing top. Clear deep mahogany with rocky white head that has moderate persistance. Sweet malt aroma with an almost citrusy/floral overtone, and hint of german hops. Light roast malt flavor with honey, a bit of hop flavor, and moderate hop bitterness. Medium/light mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Nice very clean finish. I think would make a great session beer.

Bottle @ Yespr tasting.
[thank you, Yespr]
Pours a very pretty reddish brown with a thin fizzy head that soon disappears. Aroma is heavy rye bread, caramel and light dried fruits. Lively mouthfeel, leaning towards fizzy. Flavour is lightly sweet, not that powerful at first, but the aftertaste is well-balanced roasted caramel and rye bread flavours. Medium in sweetness.

Light efferescent german malts, partenered eventually by noble hops, soft easy bready malt taste,hops that taste like pekoe tea, and an easy bitterness that takes you to the finish. No complaints,pleasant enough session brew
