Enzensteiner Landbier Hell is a deep golden example of the style with a white head. The malty nose has some grainy notes as does the balanced palate. The lingering finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter. It’s fruity as it warms and though not quite as clean as you might like in the style, the finish has a nice light bitterness.
