Batch 213 Dunkel tasting notes

 Cold from tap

Pours deep orange with fine tan head that stays, laces

Aroma fresh ripe fruit, subtle malt, curry spice

Mouthfeel moderate body, pretty clean

Flavor big fresh apples/pears up front, malt pop in the middle, cleans up a bit spicy

Finishes malty in back, but subtle.  Mostly quenching.

Overall a simple bland malty beer, easy drinker.
