Very slight hop aroma plus hints of caramel malt. Taste is fairly smooth with no hop bite, then a rush of caramel malt and clean neutral yeast taste. Nice combination of all with hops actually taking a slightly more background presence, but still a clean crispness.
Fresh hop aroma. Taste is slightly crisp followed by strong fruitiness like juice. Taste on back end is slightly drying from yeast and gives hints of alcohol intensity. Overall a bit sweet, almost like spiked orange juice.
Bright flowery hop aromas. Crisp bite on first drink, softens, them replaced by flavorful hop expressions. A little bit of malt and yeast in aftertaste, but finished fairly cleanly.
Delicious sweet fresh hop aroma. Very broad, “wet” taste of hops. Fairly strong hop flavor, but not crisp, so fades out smoothly and quickly, leaving a nice mild fresh hop flavor. Very nice. Feels like you’re drinking it fresh from a brewery out in a field of fresh growing hops. Date on bottle suggests to consume by 16-Dec-2012, drank it on 2-Sep-2012.
Sweet aroma, almost smells like peanuts. Then taste hits you and taste like a nice mild peanut butter. Very mild, but a good strong malty (peanut?) Background taste. Very little aftertaste other than a nice mild maltiness. One of the best and tastiest lagers I’ve ever had.
4.5 out of 5 Stars.
