Can, 2022, enormous thanks to Fin and Loz! Shared with Hrabren and Ogi. Misty yellow body, no head really. Very pungent aroma - pineapple, tropical notes, white grapes, lightly rubbery, but within wine parameters, quite wine-like, pleasant by all means. Lean, dry taste, bit yeasty, rubbery white grapes, light herbal notes, some tartness, perfumey, bit floral, lightly citric, the malty backbone is lightly minerally, meaning it lost some freshness, but I love the mouthfeel.

Munich Ratebeer Group Tasting at Jonas, Garching Friday 22nd October 2021. Pours clear gold, actually a peachy gold colour with a white head. Fruity with a little summer fruit and streaky light citrussy, there is a lovely tang, this is great, the wine qualities shine through but they're certainly working in tandem nicely here.

Vintage 2020 brought by Fin, thanks! Lightly cloudy yellow-amber. with almost no head. Peach sour nose, tangy tropical fruits, lychee. Very sparkling-acidity on the tongue, heavy wild-yeast notes in the background. It really is a great marriage of wine and beer, with low carb to remind you of the wine heritage. Hardly tastes like 12%, fantastic.

Bottle. Fantastic flowery sweet tropical honeyish aromatics. Hazy pale golden. low head. Relatively dry sweet base, light sparkly on the tongue. Very nice subdued flowery notes, warming, light wine leaves, honeyish sweet, but still dry. Another great reverse engineered!!

Bottle. Hazy golden color with hardly any head. Aroma is passion fruit, vineous, very fruity. Taste is again all the passion fruit, purree, warming booze in the back. Juicy mouthfeel with low carbonation. Excellent!

Clear golden. Aroma is christmas spices some anise some caramel some syrup. Taste is sweet with some spices and sour white wine later. Pretty complex. Not exactly my taste though.
