Notes:

Sampled while packaging. Obviously green, but has a german flavor. Definitely a light brew with very mild hoppy aroma. Basic "beer" flavor with some balance, but not overwhelming. Heading toward a very drinkable, pleasing brew for many types of beer drinkers. Even at this stage, I can tell this is going to be a solid version of this popular recipe of mine.
