Kostrizer Schwarzbier

Great cascading head, really unusual for a lager. It settles to a huge, pillowy light tan head and stays for ever.

Good malty smell. Not much deeper than most Euro lagers, since it's supposed to be light in body despite the color. The head throws off some heavily floral scents.

Smooth body, but still light. Light lager taste, but a little more bold than most. Similar to something else I've had, I'm trying to place it. Slightly sweet, clean finish.

This beer easily lays waste to beers like Shiner 100 and other American schwarzbiers I've had, and gives me hope that the style is something to keep on trying.
