What Our Editors Thought

“Full aroma with bits of flowers and fresh herbs, very light cracker, with a soft refinement. Light and direct in the flavor with a controlled and smooth bitterness. Cohesive despite the light scale.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Clean, crisp, and dry with soft complexity and delicate notes of dried rose petals and green tea. Very spring-like—flowers budding on young limbs with a pleasant woody note. Floral hops amplify the fermentation character. Crackery on the tongue, before aggressive hops kick in. The finish leaves a floral impression that draws you back in. Clean bitterness, but persistent.”

What the Brewers Say

“Enjoy this crushable, delicious lager anytime, with anything.”
