Tap at the brewery. Apples, light spiciness, caramel, biscuits, treacle. Very nice. Good stuff and the best one so far. Nutty.

It seems to have improved since KyotoLefty had it but still isn’t up to snuff. 5% A slightly opaque amber brown with a good 2cm of foam. The aroma is malty sweet with toffee & caramel like notes. The taste is kind of rough & bitter with none of that malty sweetness from the nose coming through. A bit disappointing. With food it improved revealing some roasted malt notes that were a good contrast to my lunch of potatoes & fish in a sour sauce. 2.5-3/5 nose 7, taste 5.

Draught at the brewpub. Pretty amber color with a fine, lovely, sturdy head. Nice part ends there. Strange aroma, some caramel and hop, fruit, earth, plus some weird yeasty thing. Similar to the helles I had: a metallic, Sprite flavor. Very bitter finish, almost astringent. Too fruity, citrusy, and gassy. Unpleasant.

A bit of apricots and apples, but no body. Hoppiest beer of the bunch, with a somewhat bitter finish. Hardly interesting.
