Scent

Low to no malt aroma, which if present can be perceived as grainy, sweet or corn-like. Light to none hop aroma, with a spicy or floral presence. While a clean fermentation character is desirable, a little yeast character (particularly a slight apple fruitiness) is not a miss. A slight DMS is not a fault either.

Appearance

Very pale straw color to medium yellow. White foam that rarely persists. Very clear.

Flavor

Relatively neutral on the palate with a dry, fresh finish, with a low to moderately-low grainy or corn-like flavor, which may be perceived as sweetness due to the low bitterness. Low to moderately-low hop flavor, which can have a floral, spicy and herbal quality (although rarely strong enough to be distinguished). Low to medium-low hop bitterness. The balance can vary from slightly malty to slightly bitter, but is relatively balanced. The high level of carbonation can accentuate the freshness of a dry finish. Clean lager fermentation character
