What Our Editors Thought

“Malt notes lean into melon and stone fruit in the aroma, carrying through in a sweet burst at the start of the sip, balanced by a light, woody-herbal hop note.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Solid biscuit and pie-crust malt aroma with a hint of caramel; lovely spicy and floral hops, light apricot esters. Malt dominance continues in the flavor: pie crust and light toast with a hint of brown sugar. Earthy, woody, spearmint hop notes. A bit sweet but balanced well by the spicy hop bitterness. Finishes mostly dry.”

What the Brewers Say

“A clean, smooth, pale German lager.”
