What the brewers say

“A clean, smooth, pale German lager.”

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 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.”
