What Our Editors Thought

Nutty grain with a light mineral note in the aroma, alongside very light zucchini notes. Malt notes push through in the sip with a hint of corn sweetness and lime zest braced by deeper cool herbal tones.

What Our Panel Thought

Bready and grainy notes of biscuit, cracker, and a touch of grass in the aroma are complimented by hints of floral and herbal hops. The sip presents a clean malt forward flavor profile with notes of bread crust, biscuit and light toast note. The malt body is balanced by a clean floral bitterness and a light but helpful carbonic bite to bring some brightness and liveliness. It finishes clean and crisp with a touch of lingering malt.

What the Brewers Say

German-style Dortmunder with notes of grainy malt sweetness and floral hop spice. Finishes crisp, clean and dry with balanced bitterness. Hopped with Magnum, Mittlefruh and Saphir.
