What Our Editors Thought
“Honey and candied-malt sweetness lead the aroma and carry into a rich, malt-forward profile. Bitterness offers just enough contrast to keep the sweetness in check before a smooth, rounded finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Inviting aroma with rich melanoidin, and bread crust. In the flavor, big caramel notes with moderate hop bitterness. Very light fruity esters. Light Noble hops support and add great top notes. The malt and some low bitterness linger on the tongue.”
What the Brewers Say
“A crisp, toasty red lager featuring Grüngeist hops.”
