4 of 5

This is good. It's refreshing, roasty but very approachable.

It's like a Pils but where you replace the hop with malt. Instead of hop aroma, it's toast and coffee, instead of hop bitterness on the finish it's coffee dryness on the finish.

I can't think of anything I would change apart from maybe a touch more hop bitterness.

I think a version of this will become a staple for me.

I'll know more when I've brewed it a couple of times more
