Bottle, thanks to herrklemann! Pours deep orange with off-white head. Nose is, well, almost nothing. Some boozy notes, slight spicy rye character, super faint fruity touch. Tastes like a messy homebrew tbh, feels a bit oxidised. Light bodied with serious overcaronation. A shame, I would've been curious how it really is.

Fridge mishap Eisbock'ed this while I was on holiday. Yay… But of course I had to try it. Feels like a strong, bready Bock. Would actually prefer this to many Bock beers from Austria. ?

Bottle, many thanks herrklemann! Hazy amber-orange color with white head. Aroma is peach, citrus oils, rye spice, bready. Taste is peach and citrus again, rye spice breadiness and some sweetness. Sweet fruity finish. Oily mouthfeel, natural carbonation. Not too interesting, but quite nice in terms of complexity and balance!

330 ml bottle from Beer Store Vienna.
Orange, cloudy body, with some yeast floating around and a big, frothy to creamy, lacing, light beige head.
Aroma of rye, yeast, citrus, some dried fruits, bread.
Tastes of yeast, rye, dried fruits, citrus, bread, zesty hops.
Medium to light, creamy mouthfeel, with a lively carbonaton.
Finishes bitter, quite dry, yeasty, hoppy, zesty.

Nice one. Interesting mix of yeast, rye and hops. Quite complex, but also quaffable. One of the better rye beers I’ve had.

EIn Roggenbier, das nach angelsächsischen Vorbild und solcher Hefe gebraut wird. Es hat klassische Roggenbrot-Noten, aber es überwiegen die orangigen Fruchtnoten. Hier ist das Motto slow brewing sogar im Namen zu finden. EIn recht tiefgründiges Roggenbier, das angenehme Hopfennoten hat und man gerne trinkt.

09/04 0.5 l bottle courtesy of ogivlado, thanks for sharing! It poured murky amber body with small head. Nice aroma, a bit fruity malty and yeasty, some vanilla and light banana notes. Fine fruity flavor, yeasty as well, a bit bready, sugary and caramelly. Quite full bodied, quite cloying, with just a touch of alcohol. Finish was strange, somehow stale and ruining the impression on the beer. Good brew, but expected better from this one.

Draught at the brewpub and bottled (330ml) at home.
Dark orange coloured, medium sized off-white head, malty fruity nose. Yeasty, bready and noticable rye taste with notes of herbs and hemp. Nothing more nothing less than ok.
