Bottle. Light fruity berry nose, a hint grass, not much hoppiness, DMS. Golden. Pretty blah, a bit Kölschlike, but not well kept.

Clear gold with almost no white head. Aroma is buttered corn, hops, some slight light fruits. Taste normal lager stuffand some fresh sourness. Good to drink, not harsh. Meh.

330ml bottle [next vintage, again catered by bartlebier, thanks!]. Clear, yellow-ish golden colour with small, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Floral hoppy aroma, pale malty background with minimally spicy touch. Taste is slightly sweet pale malty, a touch of malt spiciness, moderately bitter, floral, minimally citrusy and grassy hoppy overtones. Not a real hop storm, but covering a decent range of hop flavours - in a reticent mode, of course.

Many thanks for this beer to kevnic2008. Piwo az z 8 chmieli, co w smaku da sie zauwazyc. Gozkie trawiaste i ziolowe w smaku. Skojarzenia to majeranek, bazylia i oregano. Wyglad spory minus filtrowane jasne i przejrzyste piwo z minimalna piana. Aromat tylko ciut bazylii wyczulem. Ciekawostka fajna i bomba chmielowa w stylu angielskim. Jednak mimo braku aromatu i pianki udany eksperyment. Szkoda ze filtrowane.

(bottle, 33cl, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Clear, golden colour with a blond and small foamy head. Herbal, resiny and delicately floral hoppy aroma with a tinge of citrus, lemon and a mildly malty background, including hints of bread and black tea. Slightly bitter and discreetly sweet flavour, rather light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Dry-ish malty base with shy bready accents, followed by moderately present herbal, slightly resiny and fruity hops, which are getting slightly stronger towards the bitter-sweet finish. Better than last years´ edition but despite its name still a (hop-)tempest in a teacup. 19.IV.16

Bottle shared at tasting. Clear golden colour. Lemony resiny slightly garlicy hoppy aroma. Taste has moderate metallic off element, otherwise clean hoppy impression, lemony. Moderate honeyish flavour. Overall balanced and easy drinking.
