Sweet smell, almost like a hard cider.  Crisp taste with a dry sweetness to it.  Mostly light flavor to it, but a sweetness grows for an aftertaste that lingers with a hint of malt.  Bottle says good through November 2 2014, drank on June 4 2014, so pretty fresh.  Actually got notably better around 45 F, which is contrary to my previous lager experience that says cold is best.

3 out of 5 Stars.
