Mar 21 - poured first pint. Aroma is fruity fresh. Still cloudy but this is the first first pour which is pulling everything from the bottom on the keg. All indications that this is on track for excellence. One more month of lagering.
Apr 1 - Looks perfect and tastes light yet a hint of honey with a nice mouth feel. Very excellent lager over all. Crystal Hop may add some "ok" aroma. I now prefer Liberty, Saaz (in that order). Bitterness is mild and well balanced.
Apr 4 - Flavour continues to improve. Wonderful mouth feel with silky honey tones.
