The taste is crisp and bready with flavors of toasted sourdough, honeyed oats, Chinese almond cookies, and caramel on a soft and smooth full body. The finish is long and moderately low in bitterness, featuring notes of roasted almond, herbal hops, salted caramel, and orange peel. Overall this is a surprisingly complex beer for an unassuming style, very smooth and crushable yet deeply rewarding on the palate as well.<\/p>\n<p>Canned on: 8\/6\/25<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6549,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[39],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-6547","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","embm_style-festbier"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"Munich, Pale, Pilsner","hops":"Magnum, Opal, Perle, Spalter Select, Tettnang","additions":"","yeast":"Lager","abv":6,"ibu":32},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":6279504},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/6547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6547"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/6547\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6550,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/6547\/revisions\/6550"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=6547"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=6547"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=6547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
