The taste is crisp and dry up front, with a crackery presence that eventually leads to deeper sweeter flavors of honey and caramel on an effervescent medium body. The finish is long and moderately bitter, featuring notes of lime peel, herbal\/floral hops, pine, and a touch of residual honey sweetness. Overall, this is a very well balanced and enjoyable lager; I would actually buy a 12 pack of this.<\/p>\n<p>Best by: June 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[61],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-6807","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","embm_style-kellerbier-zwickelbier"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"Samuel Adams two-row pale malt blend, malted wheat","hops":"Tettnang-Tettnanger","additions":"","yeast":"Lager","abv":5.5,"ibu":18},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":86589},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/6807","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=6807"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/6807\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6810,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/6807\/revisions\/6810"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=6807"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=6807"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=6807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
