Impression: This is the second of the two Riedbacher beers I picked up and while this one is perhaps more visually appealing, especially the head, it’s not quite up to par with the Original. It’s got a similar mix of grain and hops in both the nose and palate but the finish isn’t quite as clean. That said, overall it’s still a winner which makes me want to visit their pub to sample the beers on tap.
