Grand Brewdapest Hotel

Can picked up from Beyond Beer webshop Hamburg and consumed at home sat on the patio listening to Phoebe Bridges - Lost Weekend, Sunday 16th August 2026 after a great home-made pizza from Loz . Pours hazy gold/yellow with a large clinging white head. Nice mouthfeel, tropical notes with some cape gooseberry and passion fruit mostly but there is a little something else which I cannot quite put my finger on. Despite being mostly juicy and sweet, there's a little bitterness and the aforementioned fruits come through nicely but it's just a touch thin. I like it but didn't quite tick all the boxes. Score: 7.0

Trockener, hell herber Hopfenbeginn mit schwachen Fruchtnoten. Minimal Pfirsich, sehr trocken bleibend, wenig hefig. Leichte Süße zum Ende, etwas getreidig, langer aber milder Ausklang. 9/7/8/8/11/8

440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, golden colour with huge, firm, frothy to creamy, very slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Tropical fruity and slightly vinous fruity, hoppy aroma, sweet-ish wheaty and minimally oaty malty background, notes of passion fruit, mango, white grapes, some goosebery, kiwi fruit, melon, a touch of lychee. Taste is moderately bitter, vinous fruity and slightly tropical fruity, minimally citrusy fruity hoppy, wheaty and slightly oaty malty basis with low residual sweetness, slightly diluted notes of white grapes, gooseberry, unripe kiwi fruit, some mango, a touch of lemon; more citrusy, barely tropical fruity finish with a mineral touch.
Watery texture, smooth and slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, prickly carbonation.
Wonderful nose, sadly slightly diluted hop flavours in taste, the tropical partition, dominating the nose, is quite weak concerning taste - nevertheless pretty good overall.
