(OPPS’07). One of the better landbiers I’ve had. Looks nicely reddish amber, darker than other landbiers I’ve seen. Some earthiness (not kidding :)) and very nice hoppy bitterness. Slightly roasted. A bit similar to some british bitters maybe? Actually has some carbonation.

Pleasant low caramel sweetness with a slight roastiness in the nose, low sweet malt and a pleasant bitterness in the mouth that is part hop and part burnt malt, low sweet bready malt balanced with a gentle hop bitterness in the finish.
