On tap at Ammutsøn, Vienna. Opaque yellow-ish golden, small off-white head. Aroma is really nicely hit in this one, citrusy blending in with tropical. Tropical aromas gaining intensity. Creamy stone fruit puree aroma appears, very appealing. Light body, soft texture, drinkable, alcohol hidden. Light tropical flavours. Malts hidden. Bitterness very low. This is a proper example. Good job.

Can picked up from Liebick Getränke which is on St.-Cäcilia-Straße in Germering, Bavaria, we're in our log cabin in Dachau, Bavaria, Germany. We're now listening to Marc Riley on 6 Music, Monday 14th January 2018. Cooking chicken wrapped with prosciutto and stuffed with gorgonzola served with vegetables. Pours murky dirty gold with a white head, hugely hoppy, lots and lots of hoppy burps. Juicy but with a big tropical hit. Soft in the mouth, but the hop burn, wow it's hoppy man, lovely.

Cloudy milkshake. Aroma is classic mealy hop bomb, peach, star fruit, banana, other fruit. Taste is bitter hop without burn, mealy on the tongue but actually pleasant. Could have a more complex aroma but the drinkability is nice. Ok.

Very fresh can. Hop burn tropical nose. Murky yellow, no head. Dry banana, light berry, yeast buffers the hop burn. light, allright Edit 2 months later: slightly cleaner notes, a bit old hop cheesecake, less burn, some sticky resin notes.

Can, one day after canning, many thanks to Max! Murkiest greyish milkshake color with white head. Aroma is pina colada, banana milkshake, way less sweat and aggressive overhopped flavours than expected, but I guess the yeast just overmuddles those. Taste is milkshake, banana, pina colada, yeastcake, a bit muted, but again way less sweaty or hopburny as expected at this point. Silky-mealy mouthfeel with low carbonation. Not so much burn, but lots of yeast in here. This will hopefully be great in 2 weeks, but it is a bit sad to see that FrauGruber seems to have a habit of canning things too quickly.
