Impression: This is an unfiltered amber example of the style having a bit of a resurgence. With noble hops, grain and a hint of caramel in the nose, it’s an enticing beer. The richly malty palate is fruity and quite dry for this strength. The lingering finish is dry and semi-bitter. A wonderful experience to drink it in their lovely Biergarten on a spring day.
