One-off by Kristonian only sold (so far) at one very local event, and brewed in a brewpub in Duisburg. Thanks Tony for the bottle! Pale yellowish egg-white, mousy, lightly lacing, thinnish head, fizzing away quickly in the middle but well-retaining around the edge; hazed, warm pale orangey-tinged peach blonde robe. Aroma of fried red apples, halfripe peach, bread crumbs, rainwater, wet cotton cloth or even a hint of damp kitchen towels, dried sweetclover and other field flowers, vague hints of cinnamon, diluted ginger ale, dust, raw carrot juice. Mildly fuity onset, sweetish but restrainedly so, not overly estery, hints of red apple, dried banana slices and apricot, rather soft carbonation (a bit undercarbonated for this style in fact), minerally and rainwater-like side elements, slick and soft, supple mouthfeel; pleasantly bread crumb-like, even a bit soggy biscuit-like malt sweetish middle, powdery-bready yeast effects and notably floral, almost fresh field flower-like hop profile, adding a mild, grassy bitterness to an otherwise pleasantly bready finish where some very mild spicy phenols pop up here and there. Bit undercarbonated, with a mild cotton- or otherwise 'textile'-like off-flavour somewhere in the background, but generally a very drinkable, well-measured quenching beer, with an elegantly floral hop profile and a very pleasant breadiness to it, whilst keeping the sweetness and 'Belgian' esters at bay. Close to Passie Voor Puur, Kristonian's first commercial beer, but the hop profile (and variety) differs and the malt bill seems a tad more 'pale' and slender here. Enjoyable enough, no complaints.
