Schlossbrauerei Hohenthann L. Rauchenecker. Puffy, fluffy jiffy pop shaped top above still yellow amber. Battle of the venomous maws lacing. Reptilian nose, shows snake leather, lightly browned breadstick, grape leaf, lemon in a green olive cloak, lanolin, clementine pith web. Damn fine beer shows toasted white bread, cashew, madeleine, pear, lemon verbena, lemon oil, dandelion.

Green gold with an ethereal arc. Champagne streamers and finest mousse. Jack Frost has nothing on this lacing. Indelibly icing. Briny nose with honey notes, golden apple, frozen plum, pie crust, arugula, beeswax, and wheat germ. Glorious hoppyness shows lemon peel, pink and white wildflower sprays ultimately superseded by a bitterness that strikes just the right tempo. There is a natural mineral impression of gold flake, pine nut, and resinous oils abound. The lacing is glued. Such complexity in the hop arrangement here. Parsley, dried apricot, tarragon, sprouts, hay, bay and even a light and zesty jalapeño. Fantastische!
