Retter Export

5.2% 500ml bottle: BB 22nd Nov 2018. Drank at home on 16th Aug 2018, poured into an old Veltins Pilsner stemmed tulip glass three times (only a 0.2 litre glass). Nice deep golden body, clear, clean and bright, the smooth white head of foam stayed a while on each pour, looked lovely. Decent blend of hops and malts in both the aroma and taste, bready malts, semi-bittering hops. Leaning towards a slightly sweet brew and fairly rich body wise for the style. I note no one else has rated this for 5 years, with the alcohol content rising to 5.2% ABV this may well be a new recipe for the beer, the bottle has had a re-vamp too. Liked it.

Bottled. Clear amber/golden, small head. Sweet and medium bodied with a bit of caramel and bready malt. Salty finish. A deeper malty beer with seemingly low hop rate.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and deep golden yellow to orange, huge fluffy/creamy head. Mild bitterhops and slight sweet corn aroma. Flavour is light breadish malty with a mild caramel malt note. Medium sweet. Vague bitterness into the finish, yet slight dry.

The bottle looks not so good, too complex. The beer in the glass is okay, but not very zippy. Spicy aroma. Tastes mild and spicy, wheaty, very drinkable. Surprising good!

(Bottle 50 cl) Pilsener golden with a small, white head. Aroma is pure malt, the flavour is pure malt with some underlying sweetness and yet a touch of bittering hops to round things of. Fairly decent for a Nemo-bier. 200106
