Review and Tasting

Appearance:

Cloudy, pale sandy yellow with a thick and retentive off-white head with spotted lacing.

A subdued nose but with a strong yeasty influence. Some flinty minerality.

Taste:

Light to medium-bodied. White bread and flour with yeasty white wine-like notes.

Aftertaste:

Yeasty white bready notes continue through the subtle finish with light cleansing acidity.

Overall:

A light pilsner with a heavy champagne wine yeast influence. Interesting, refreshing and most pleasant.
