What Our Editors Thought

Lightly toasted malt note on the nose with just a touch of maillard sweetness. The sip throws a light spicy and woody bitterness against a broad bready malt note, but the hops prevail with a light structure that makes it easy to drink.

What Our Panel Thought

Brilliant yellow-gold, great foam. Light, spicy hop aroma with bready, lightest-honey malt and a sulfur note that dissipates. Quick hit of malt sweetness rolls into a soft, spicy-herbal bitterness. Roundly balanced. Light body, prickly carbonation. Gassy. Malt and spicy hops linger into dry, earthy finish. You could get stuck into it.

What the Brewers Say

Easy-drinking German-style lager with light malt sweetness and no bitterness.
