Impression: This was one gorgeous pour with a super formidable head that lasted well into the glass. The citrusy nose was enticing on this warm sunny day and the hop forward balanced palate was an intriguing mix of traditional and Craft Beer. It was evidently a bit stronger in previous incarnations and on the brewery website, it was listed as a 5.5% Märzen. On the restaurant website, it’s a 4.8% India Red Lager. I’d say the latter probably was the case.
