Stylishly robust, yet perfectly centrist, light lager succeeds on all levels. Creamy eclair-like eggy yeast breading brings doughy sweetness to lemony orange spicing, wispy champagne sparkle and buttery Chardonnay snip. Floral-daubed Noble hop herbage stays moderated. Dried maize onrush contrasts corn-sugared cereal graining at the busy finish.
