What Our Editors Thought
“Sweet nose with a faint floral-hop note. Much bitterer in the sip, with a well-integrated bitterness that tucks right in.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Golden honey–colored, excellent clarity, white head. Malty aroma with a hint of graham cracker and grain, with a tinge of herbal hops. Large, pillowy carbonation on the palate. Light honey and cracker malt character. Finish has enough bitterness to keep it balanced but enough sweetness to remind you it’s bigger than a helles.”
What the Brewers Say
“Earthy, crisply carbonated, toasty fest beer.”
