Fläschla: Golden with an orangey sheen, hazy, medium-sized loose ’n stable off-white head; mild to moderate nose of malt, floral hops and woodfire; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, both fizzy and creamy, light go medium bodied; fruity hops and sweet pale malt in the drier bitter-sweet finish. Yes, one of the better Nikl fizzes...

Brown with large white head. Aroma is hoppy lemon, grass, some hay, slight ham, more light fruits, sweet malt. Taste is very sour, crispy, watery. Thin body. Too light in the mouth.

(bottle, 33cl) Cloudy, amber colour with a tall and firm, slightly off-white foamy head. Yeasty, mildly fruity and piney hoppy aroma with hints of dark and red berries, backed by present notes of smoked malt, vanilla and wheat. Mildly bitter and delicately sweet flavour, rather light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slim malty base with wheaty and present smoky notes, accompanied by berry-fruity notes, traces of caramel and a drying hop character towards the bitter hoppy and mildly fruity finish. Not bad but rather a kind of refreshing and smoky summer Ale. 30.XI.16
