Bottle @ Braustelle, Cologne. Pours dark unclear orange with a small creamy head and lacings. Yeasty and fruity with a note of cellar. Flavor is whitewine, brett and white pepper. Quite infected but rather drinkable.

Bottle courtesy of kolschtrinker, thank you sir! Murky orange with seemingly live animals swimming around. Aroma of fresh grass and bread. Taste is slightly sour orange peel and grapefruit. Nice.

Bottle, danke Roman. Bretty aroma, not intentionally maybe, but awesome. Hazy golden, lacing golden head. Dry sparkly body, citric hops, medium to light malts, a hint ginger, really nice actually.

37.5cl bottle pours up hazy copper with tall semi lumpy tan head and leaving behind some nice lacing. The aroma is full of spicy yeast and a bit of pepperiness as well as lesser amounts of apricot and cherry mixed together. Further inspection reveals rings of spicy, floral and earthy hops. The taste is heavy with yeastiness and floral hops where spicy hoppiness is not far behind. This is hoppy then I would have guessed for the style. For my taste the spicy hops are keeping pace with the floral hops making this an interesting and enjoyable sipper of a beer. The above average level of carbonation is also brightening up the hop notes and tickling the tongue a little in the process.

Bottled @ home, BB march 2012. Slight hazy orange golden color, nice thick and creamy off-white head. Aroma, which reminds me of Orval, so probably has a Brett, combined with some noble dryhopping, bit extra caramelly notes, slight fruity. Taste is slightly alcoholic, bit malty, creamy milkshake, some orange or strawberry, slight sourish, bit sweet. I wasn’t expecting anything in advance, but this kind of surprised me (though I knew several brewers at Braustelle are experimenting with Brett). I liked it quite a lot!

Bottle from Galeria Kaufhof, Köln
Cloudy light amber color; giant head, creamy. Sweetish aroma of malt, with some smell of vegetables and puke. Strong-ish body, quite sweet mouthfeel; unbearable flavor of vegetables and cabbage, evident alcohol, very light sourness, with too much bitterness (in this combination). Undrinkable (I had to drainpour it).

On tap at CP&K. Cloudy orange with lasting thick off white. Very yeasty. Lots of esters and touch of puke. Some orange fruit some jellied fruits. Not wonderful mind. Some hop on finish. Yes just a touch of puke detracts from it.

Bottled (BZ, BB 06/2010)
0,5 l bottle although bottle label says 0,75 l :) Hazy amber color, small creamy off-white head. Average nose has alcohol, grassy hops and hints of butterscotch. Quite harsh-bitter flavor, dry mouthfeel. Sticky alcohol in the finish, kind of glueish. Aftertaste is alcoholic. Odd as other Braustelles.

Bottle:Amber, hazy, big fluffy to creamy off-white head; fruity, infectous sourish and sweet-caramelly nose; solid sweet-sourish flavour with a bitter touch, medium to full bodied; solid bitter-sweet and sourish-fruity finish. What a pity, this brewery has always problems with infections.......

(bottle, 75cl) Cloudy, golden colour with a huge, light-beige and persistent foamy head. Sweet pale and slightly cara-malty aroma with marked fruity (apricots, lemon) notes and a floral, slightly herbal hoppy touch, accompanied by slightly mouldy woody notes. Moderately sweet and acidic flavour, full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Initially malty, minimal grainy and yeasty taste with a distinctive vinegary fruit-character, getting slightly vinous towards the finish, mixed up with a slightly herbal and flowery hoppy bite. Very drinkable in minor quantities. 18.XI.09
