Can shared at Ganz, courtesy of Erzengel, thanks a lot Gabriel! To be fair I did not see this beer popping up in the parcel, but here we go: poor, almost lager-like, crisp body, weak hoppy presence, some malt base. Close to zero character to talk about. Meh. The guys I shared this with were happy to see this tho.
Thanks Stefano V. --- Beer merged from original tick of ALD IPA on 19 Feb 2022 at 18:10 - Score: 5. Original review text: Thanks Stefano V.

Almost clear, golden color and a white head. Decent tropical fruits over floral and bitter sweet hops. Nice body for only 4.2%

Büchsle (Dank an Stefan!): Pale golden to golden, unclear, small white foamy layer, mild to moderate citrussy-fruity-sweet and grainy nose; bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied, not watery, nearly soft; slightly lingering citrussy-bitter finish. Not great, but - no prejudices, please - quite well drinkable...

50cl can. A clear yellow golden beer with a white head. Aroma of grainy malt, pale malt, straw. Taste of pale malt, grainy, cereals, straw, moderate bitterness.

500 ml can from Erzengel. Thanks a lot mate! Nice label art. Clear dark golden in the glass with a more than one finger white frothy head. Nearly nothing on the nose, maybe a little bit musty. Taste starts cardboardy, little bit malt, little bit fruity elements but thin. Very low carbonated. Boring.

Can, many thanks jonas! Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is straw, a touch pear indeed, just kinda weird. Taste is not much of anything, again a touch pear, a touch straw. A bit fatty, sweetish mouthfeel with crisp carbonation. This really feels like a cheap beer. I guess this is intentional? But it's really not great.

Can courtesy of Munich or more accurately Unterhaching Dave, cheers Dave! Had this Wednesday 28th April 2021 evening after a cycle to Haindfling to get milk, listening to Steve Lamaqs Evening Session on 6Music. Pours hazy first piss of the morning yellowy/gold, to be fair I am highly likely to use the word piss again sooner than later. I know that this is a cheap and cheerful beer for Aldi but for crying out loud it is really poor. Soft moutheel, nice mouthfeel, but really I am running out of positives, it's the beer equivalent of magnolia. Piss poor....
