Dinkel Acker Cd-Pils from Dinkelacker-Schwabenbraeu AG
Rating: B-
Appearance: pours a pale gold with less head than I was expecting (I was pouring roughly, too) that disipates quickly.
Smell: wow, very strong aroma on this one, I could smell it from the time it left the bottle, at arm's length. Grassy hops, distinct pils aroma, smells like it's going to be dry, if that makes sense (very unlike a lot of the Belgians I've had recently, which smell like they'll be sweet).
Taste: Very clean at the front of the palate, then the bitterness hits you big. Resolves to a dry grassy finish. The lingering aftertaste leaves something to be desired. Malts show up more as the glass warms. Very refreshing, but a fair representative of the style.
Mouthfeel: Carbonation seems right on, mouthfeel is light enough to be thirst quenching, but not watery.
Drinkability: Inherently not the most interesting style, but the light character and assertive hops (and they're grassy, no less) make this one a good lawnmower beer.
Serving type: bottle
