Very light in body and color. Crisp, dry, spritzy, and refreshing unfiltered beer. Clean ale-yeast aroma and flavor, without the characteristic yeasty spiciness of a Bavarian wheat beer.

Best With: 
Smoked trout salad; schnitzel, choucroute garni (sausages, ham and bacon served over sauerkraut), spinach salads with boiled shrimp, gazpacho. Serve in tall vase-shaped glass garnished with a thin slice of lemon.
