Brewer's Notes
This beer is up in he top couple beers i have ever made.
It is easy to drink but has a wonderfull malt complexity, ballanced but a fruity, floral and slightlly citrus hop character that sits over the malt to ballance the beer sooooooooo well. Saphire hops ROCK!
I would recoment this beer to anyone anting a malty german lager for Oktoberfest. I went to a local Micro Oktoberfest today and their beer was practicly identical......... only this had a bit more malt punch!
Caraaroma was actually carabohemian and colour was aroun 16 EBC.
