Nice and malty with tones of toast. Very clear. One of the best beers I have ever made. Doesn't match style for color or alcohol. Probably closer to a California Common, but even then its to much alcohol.

See Kriegster Whim. Even more hop in the Bitter and flavor. Dry hopping with Hallertau Hersbrucker.
