Pale cloudy in the glass, thick white head. The nose is extremely grassy and floral. The beer starts grassy, floral and only slightly malty. Slightly sourish - probably due to the extreme hop-blast. The bitterness is moderate, in the end nicely dryer, but still floral and fresh!

Bottle at home, 8th December 13. Nice looking drink, fluffy white head, good lacing, aroma is citrus, taste is clean, some grapefruit pith, and a little pine and metallic notes. Not a bad IPA, especially coming from Germany, the hops could sing a little more though

BBE 05/2014 - Pours clear yellow with a tiny bubbly head. Aroma of earthy notes, bready malts, crisp grassy hops and hints of exotic fruits. Taste is grainy, earthy and bready with some grassy hoppiness and exotic fruity notes. Finish is bready, hoppy and grassy with some citrusy notes. Quite untypical but tasty, feels like a kellerbier with loads of crisp hoppiness.

2013-11-05, bottle from Rudat, Dortmund; bb 14.03.14, 8-4-8-4-16=40
Cloudy even after sitting in the cupboard for a month, with large and steady head. The aroma starts picking some rassy side, along with the light fruity and tropical presence, and a very light yeast pungency. I always love the lean mouthfeel of the Hopfenstopfer beers; delicate maltiness, with some cereals flavor; strong but balanced bitterness, with moderate citrusy and fruity character.
Very nice beer, easy to drink in every occasion, for an unbeatable price.

Hazy to cloudy deep blond color with a light green hue; large and persistent head. Very nice aroma, fresh and fruity; hint of spicy yeast. The body is lean, the mouthfeel is dry, strong carbonation, with a strong spicy yeast character, citrusy hop resins, and final astringency.
Excellent.

Had this at Cafe Brecht, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Monday 30th September 2013 So chuffed with this place it is a bloody great little cafe, with a small but well chosen beer list, in fact really well chosen and changing weekly as well I’m told. Soft, slightly prickly hoppiness in mouth, bloody lovely, only 55 IBU which is fairly modest these days but its just right. Soft squishy citrus nicely bittersweet finish is quite long slowly drying towards end. Little pithiness, its a really, really nice beer. A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov17 4.1
