Germany·Lager
Tap to rate

Intensely spicy malt and hop aromas lead the nose, followed by a scent of forest and light nutty notes. The gently sparkling, malt-sweet first sip builds into a strong malt body that ends in mild nut notes and a fine hop bitterness. 4.8% ABV. Connoisseurs' tip: hold the bottle crown-cap down before pouring, so yeast and sediment mix in.
