Had a cloudy rusty color to it with some nice white head. Lots of nice dark fruits in the aroma. Had kinda the same in the body with a good amount of butterscotch like malts. I can not believe this exists from K Struass. DaSilky1 (1978), San Diego, California, USA

The beer pours a clear amber color with a generous head that is creamy and light tan in color with the lace forming a fine sheet upon the glass. Malt dominates the nose, sweet and fresh, a pleasant sniffer with the start lightly sweet and decently malted, top is moderate in feel. Finish is moderately carbonated the hops prickly in their spiciness also quite dry and a decent drinking beer.
