Musty aroma features bran muffin and continental European hops scents. Pours a clear, dull brass color with a small amount of thin beige head and good lacing. Flavor of lemon, butter, pie crust, honey, flowers, and pomegranate. Lingering sweetness. Light body. Creamy in the palate and reasonably lively. Not as crisp as many other lagers but still crisper than an ale. Easy to drink. bleeng (594), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA
