Impression: Dingslebener Landbier is an amber example of the style. The off-white head is sudsy and the nose is an intriguing mix of spicy hops and light grain. Both feature prominently in the balanced palate. The lingering finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter. I wasn’t expecting much from a Landbier. To be honest, I’d imagined a Trojan horse Helles. I’m very happy to find it amber and hoppy.
