Old gold color. Toasty aromas and flavors of caramelized candied yams and fig jam on toast with a satiny, bright, finely carbonated, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, nuanced, long finish displaying notes of pumpernickel pastry, watercress, lemon pepper, and sassafras. A Marzën-like lager with lovely chewy malt and nicely punctuated noble, bittering hops on the long finish; this will be a natural pairing for grilled or fried fare and heartier dishes.
