From the brewer

This lager is at once both delicate and hearty. Lightly kilned Bohemian pilsner malt sets the stage for an exceptionally pale beer, with the German lager yeast providing a clean, smooth fermentation where even the subtlest flavors can shine. The addition of malted wheat fortifies the beer with a firm wheat bread character, and German-grown Saphir hops garnish the glass like a twist of lemon and strawberry blossoms.

Who's been drinking this

The flavor isn't bad, but this very much comes across as a watered-down wheat ale; light clove, banana-like esters, but a kind of impurity of flavor through the middle that ends in kind of a too-dry yeasty tartness. Slightly salty on the finish.
