Appearance: pseudo opaque amber with an egg white head. Sticky lacing. Looks good.
Smell: toasty sweet in the nose. Honey, caramel, maybe a splinter of diacetyl, floral moments, and flashes of bitter-sweet fruit tones.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Light, sweet and a touch bitter up front. Honey-like sweetness. Fairly balanced with malts just barely weighing in heavier. Delicate. A peppermint spice hops flavor sits quietly in the middle, almost unannounced. Honey is king of this brew.
Notes: A bit too sweet for my current interest in drier German-style lagers. I was hoping for a little more bittering hops.
