I didn't take notes.
So, from memory it was quite a nice lager which I rarely drink at all. Clean and not overpowering.
A pleasant sunday afternoon drop which I will review at length next time i have it.
Kinda pricey.

Nice fluffy white head
Orange light copper colour.
Nice floral nose.
Light caramel sweetness with a touch of grapefruit. The fruit doesn't really burst out at you- all kinda mild really for what is a brutal bitter.
A little hoppy oilyness.
Lingering bitterness yet overall fairly well balanced.
Mouthfeel a bit like a hefeweizen.
Quite drinkable and morish.
Worthy of a 6.5 or 7.

Dark copper in colour, head dissapears with a little lacing.
Can't quite pick the nose-herbal and earthy.
Carbonation is medium. Malts up front- a little sweet (toffee) which I like- a bit of bitterness pops up. My palate waits for the the fruity/citrus flavours to burst out but they don't make it- just weaker variations of malt and leafyness.
It grew on me as it went but just lacked the fruit of the style.
