500 ml white-glass flip top bottle at home. Amber cloudy color, big slow-dissolving tan head. Fruity smell, mango, also some sour notes, apple vinegar, light barnyard, after a while only sour notes detectable. Medium body, slick mouthfeel, slight carbonation, light sour start, some astringency, citric, light vinegar notes again, also some fruity notes behind the sour notes. Medium bitter/sour finish. This one is weird but i like it. I see the sour notes as mistakes on the brewers side and I guess the white-glass bottle does not help. I feel a bit generous to give this rating, but as i said in a weird kind of way i like it.

500 ml flip-top bottle, bought at Craft Bier Fest Wien.
Dark copper, moderate hazy body, with a medium, creamy, slightly yellow head.
Aroma of dark berries, peach, citrus, herbs, some roast, some strange rubber, that I don’t like that much.
Tastes of citrus, resin, peach, some berries, many roasted malts, grass, herbs.
Medium, slick to oily mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, dry, a bit roasty, with lemon zest, resin, herbs.
Not bad, but a bit strange. Not what I expect from an IPA or a wet hop ale. The hops are nice, but too much overlapped by roast aromas for my liking, leading to some strange rubber like impression in the nose. After all another pretty unique ale from the Bierzauberei.
