Very malty in a sweet way, slightly grainy with a touch of vanilla, honey and sweetcorn. Balanced off with a good and surprisingly high amount of aromatic and bitter hops, which give the beer a bitter-sweet character. Many beers of the style can be boring - this one definitely isn’t! I can also feel a Bohemian touch in the malt and hops... lovely! MoritzF (4941), Bochum, Germany
