Can picked up from Craftbeershop webshop, Parchim, Germany and consumed at home Thursday 4th June 2026 after some housework and gardening chores, we're now cooking outside in the wood oven our tea, it's a Chicken, Potatoes and Rhubarb Traybake, this is a recipe courtesy of Jonas and Ursula. Pours hazy orange with a large white sticky head that dropped to a filmy layer. I wasn't a big fan of this at first, I thought it's okay perhaps a tad mid table but I have to confess it's a grower and I'm beginning to really appreciate it. Citrussy and then piney, nice resinous streak, I didn't think that it was so bitter but after a while I realise there's a slight numbness to my tongue. The citrus bitterness returns, good. Dry finish Score: 7.4

A proper West coaster! This one from Bavaria. It's got the piney dank bitterness I was looking for 😋

Draft at Zwølf in Ingolstadt. Clear gold with a fluffy, white head. Forest floor, herbal and tropical with papaya dominant. Real mix! Bitter throughout. Bitter and crisp finish. Lingering resin. Enjoyed this one.

Frischer, herb-harziger Antrunk, Zitrus, Pfirsich, moderate Bitterkeit. Geringe Süße, trocken würzig. Cremig, zunehmend hopfig, vollmundig. Langer hopfiger Nachhall, gut! 11/11/11/11/11/11

Can courtesy of Bryan, huge thanks! Shared with Ogi and Goblet people. Huge sweetish resin and herbal aroma, trace fruit. Herkules proved itself! Light body, resin dominates again, citric notes, herbal bitterness. Smooth, well made, drinkable, by the bookish, yay!
