ChardoSano is a slightly hazy corn/gold color with a slight white head.

Smells of light fruits, grapes, and sugar sweetness.

The taste is dry light fruits. The barreling has given this Monte Sano maibock an almost tripel-like smell and taste. Very dry.

Feels pretty light and easy with a smooth finish and little aftertaste.
