1099. Wild Monkeys Hop Rider - 5.6% alkohola ima ova njemačka piva iz neke pivovare iz koje sam probao samo nekakvo jeftino Plodinsko pivo. Nisam ni mislio da su sposobni napraviti išta bolje, ali ovo je čist OK. I još uz to ima fora naljepnicu!

0,33 l can, 25 ct on sale at Zimmermann Sonderposten a few weeks ago. BB 13.10.2022. Pale yellow golden in the glass, one finger white foamy head. Sweet pale fruity on the nose. Taste starts with a mid dry bitterness, some citrus, yeast and caramel. Straw and increasing dry bitterness in the second part. Hints of grape. Not really balanced.

Can, 5.1%. Aroma of old bread. Hazy yellow colour. Good stable white head. The flavour has a mild caramel touch but mostly tastes of bread. Dry and bitter finish, and a but rough. Good mouthfeel.

Can via Billa. Thin body, med-high carbonation. Actually easy drinking, grassy and slightly zesty hops character. A bit of diacetyl and esters of yeast origin, slightly overripe fruits. Simple, but my favourite by far of the monkey trio I got from my Billa.

330ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, snow-white head. Weak, rather expressionless aroma, whiffs of apricot, a doughy, yeasty touch. Taste is dry, minimally fruity, bitter hoppy, biscuity pale malty with little residual sweetness, a touch of apricot and lemon; finish is not worth mentioning. Watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft carbonation. Aroma is close to a black-out; taste is nice and the relatively high bitterness would really make sense with a fuller body. Quite balanced, harmonious and tasty, I must admit, but quite monotonous and a bit anaemic; nothing wrong with it in a way, but lacks intensity everywhere - expected worse.
