500ml bottle. Cloudy orangey golden colour with small, frothy, rapidly diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Spicy aroma has smokey notes of bacon and ham, a herbal touch, some juniper, fruity and malty basis, hints of apple, pear and sauerkraut. Taste is cautiously tart, slightly sweet, salty, smoky, herbal, notes of ham and bacon, juniper, fruity hints of apple and pear, a touch of mild sauerkraut; smooth, soft, silky palate, smoky bacon finish. This is excellent! Superb balance of a classical (food) combination, tastes like a whole dish (Rippchen mit Kraut etc.). I love it!

Pale orange and slightly cloudy in the glass, smokey and slightly sour nose. The beer starts smoked, slightly salty, slightly herbal and not as sour as expected. The mainpart is smooth, herbal-smokey. Highly drinkable. Could be a bit deeper in aroma. The end is sourish-herbal, salty-smokey and slightly bitter.
A very interesting brew, but the sourness could be a bit more intense. Nice! --> 11/12/11/11
