COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An ancient, traditional German ale, the light copper-colored beer starts medium-bodied with little hop character but ample bitterness. Crisp and clean throughout, the beer ferments cold and conditions for more than three weeks to assure the bright, trim flavor required by the style. The generous addition of Munich, Kilned Amber, Belgian Special B and Aromatic Malts contributes to a semi-sweet, polished ale.

Golden copper body with a thin white head. Complex nose, initially alcoholic, but unfolds a vast array of hop notes, primarily citrucy, spicy and fruity followed by a flaked barley hint and some caramel malts. Tasted equally complex. Dry finish. Lacks a bit in body, cleans up too quickly. It makes me want another sip right away. Exceptional complexity and decent balance.
