0,5 l bottle from kapldav123. Thanks a lot! Cloudy pale golden in the glass with a steady nearly two finger whote foamy head in the glass. Now listed with 5.1% abv. Grainy with caramel and citrus on the nose. Taste is dry citrus with grain and increasing hop bitterness. Malt in the background. Above average carbonated. Long lasting bitter hop in the aftertaste.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice small head. Fresh hoppy aroma. Starts mild, malty, a bit moldy. More and more fresh hoppy, fruity hints of lemon, some peaches. Bitter soapy background. Finish could be a bit more balanced. Not bad.

Bottle, 5.5%, drunk while grilling after bringing home half a ton of drywall and insulation in the Caddy. Medium reddish gold, nice lasting head. Slightly sweet nose, hints of caramel and honey with citrus and pine. Wow it's tasting a bit like a mild red ale with American hop varieties, though it seems from the label grown here in DE. Nice one! Might be a new recipe as the last one says 4.9. Well balanced and tasty.

Greif-Bräu Hopfstar, Kellerbier kaltgehopft mit Mandarina Bavaria, jetzt mit 5,5 %, Flasche von den Getränkerittern, Wendelstein. - Laut Verkäufer mit neuem Rezept bzw. neuer Hopfensorte - leider habe ich mir keine Einzelheiten gemerkt. - Kupfergoldbraun, leicht trüb. - In der Nase feine exotische Hopfung, herbsüße Mandarine, Anklänge an Karamel und Honig. - Antrunk satt zitrusfruchtig, saftige Mandarine, ebenso süß wie bitter, sehr angenehm. Leise karamelliges Malz von sehr dezenter Restsüße, rote Beeren, Tabak. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang runde zitrusfruchtige und leise krautige Hopfenherbe. - Sehr schönes, aromatisch aber nicht übertrieben exotisch gehopftes Kellerbier, schmackhaft und süffig. Das 1. Forchheimer Craftbeer trägt diese Bezeichnung zu Recht. (23.10.2022.)

Small yellowish, rather dense head over hazy ochre beer. -1 point for slow gushing. Pure malt, fresh, tasty, faint yeast wafts, green leaves, summer wheat fields. Bitter-ish with a good just-not-sweetish malt backbone. Again those green leaves, bark. Hints of pine/resin. Gristslik - but light body. Finish is seriously bitter-resiny. A monument, IMHO. The Annafest goes a notch up on my bucket list. Txs to Joren for bringing!

Hazy golden/amber. Aroma is very fine grassy hops with some also fine malt. Very balanced. Taste is rather herbal harsh hop bitterness. Also quite minerally. Could be sweeter for my taste but still nice.

Bottle picked up from Sulzberger Bierhaus, Pffafenhofen an der Ilm and consumed at home Tuesday 9th August 2022 sat outside listening Nemone standing in for Steve Lamaq on 6 Music. We have Lax Pudding for tea tonight. Pours hazy burnished gold with a white head. Soft moutheel, a little honey sweeteness, some cereal, malty than anticipated. Quite good but the hoppiness is a little bit subtle.
