Had some Wernesgrüner recently. Is it me, or is there honey on the nose of
this beer?

I've noticed a honey-like nose in a lot of German lagers, usually from
smaller breweries. German brewers at their best are very good at
getting the most from their malts. It's a big part of what makes them
such a pleasure to drink.

But they hit hard and much faster than American beer. LOL
