Light mint aroma. Taste is light and easy. Touch of citrus, nice fruit. Bit earthy, interesting.

Bottle from the brewery, served in a snifter next to it's 3 siblings... Longest lasting head, perfumy herbal aroma. As it warms it becomes a lemony green chives kind of thing. Medium to light bodied with a semi-dry crisp finish. The taste is floral and grainy. Very perfumy, the most floral of them all but after the Mittelfrueh this hop is the one that lets the malts show through. Good but not really my thing.

Bottle from mail order. Light clear yellow with white foam. Light bicuits and herbal noble hop character. Some cucumber and hay. Taste has some light bitter hops. Fruity and sweetish grainy body. Quite light and easy drinking.

Bottle, fresh from the brewery by mail order. Herba, grassy nose, rich malt, biscuits, honey, slightly spicy. Bright cold, clear, with a thick, low head. (The other 3 were the same). Subtle nose. Citrus and mint flavor, lemon, orange, quite herbal. Good full body and nice malt. This was quite noble and herbal and probably my favorite of the four. Overall, this was a fascinating series, not really great beers, but very good, and interesting to compare these hard-to-find hops.
