Golden straw color. Toasty aromas and flavors of buttered toast, tortilla, and hint of beeswax with a supple, crisp, effervescent, dryish medium body and a smooth, interesting, medium-long finish revealing suggestions of watercress and starfruit. An appealingly crisp and toasty, highly quaffable Lager that is sure to please.
