Strange at first. after conditioning in the fridge for the extra two weeks it is perfect. Needs refining but still is decent or those that cant lager. If Bottling, beware the sediment, very tangy.
Comments
Pretty decent after a lengthy conditioning. Been popping caps lately and definitely can go through a few bottles. Drinkability is high while maintaining that German pallet. Would brew again next year a bit later to finish in September. Recommended.
