What Our Editors Thought

“Golden yellow with aromas of dried hay and fresh grain. Initial notes of white pepper and bay leaf give way to hints of lemon and lime before firm bitterness leads into a crisp, dry finish.”

What Our Panel Thought

“A hefty dose of white bread hits up front in the aroma with an ending touch of spicy, floral hop character. Smooth, grainy malt rounds out the flavor profile, and the hops definitely play a supporting role. A slight fruity ester creates a more prominent sweetness. Slightly drying.”

What the Brewers Say

“Clean, crisp esters, classic German malts, and Noble hops.”
