2012-05-31, bottle from the brewery, plastic cork, purchased Oct 2011, 7-4-8-4-15=38
Hazy golden to light amber color. The aroma is fading away, with light vanilla and fruit jam. The flavor is also mellowing, with sweetish malt and jab, apricots, a touch of citrus; correct bitterness.
A good beer, but now losing power.
2011-09-16, bottle from the brewery, plastic cork, purchased June 2011, 8-4-8-4-16=40
Hazy, or cloudy, light amber color, with medium sized creamy head. Very nice, deep yet delicate hop aroma, like a lemon tart, some vanilla. Round and strong body; sweetish malt flavor, less German and crispy than the Amarillo Strong Ale (but still with a background of that crispness), also a bit sweeter; strong hopping, giving the right amount of bitterness and very nice fruity character, tropical fruits; pleasant alcohol warmth, well blended together.
Less emotional than the Amarillo Strong Ale, but excellent as well.

Bottled. A dark golden beer with lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of lemons, hops, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, alcohol, fruits, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Bottle looks simple but really good. Not easy to open. Beer in the glass deep golden, small head. Wonderful sweet-hoppy aroma. Starts quite mild, more and more hoppy dry with a sweet touch. Fine fruity like lemon. Finish woody and bitter for a moment, well balanced. Great beer!

Deep golden, hazy, big - stable - off-white head, moderate to solid citrussy-sweaty nose; pretty sweet flavour, but bitter - as expected - too, a bit sticky, full bodied; citric-hoppy and quite sweet finish. A tad too sweet, otherwise quite well made.......

bottle from the brewery. Hazy golden colour with an orange glow, large and very creamy white head. Lovely and intensive fruity hop aroma. Full-bodied, the slcohol is in the far background, hardly detectable. Very smooth and pleasant carbonation that supports the lovely hop flavours very well. Incredibly fruity, mango, citrus fruit and other tropical fruity are present, well balanced by an intensive malty base. Delicious!

Süßer Antrunk, fast etwas zuckrig. Die Hopfennnoten sind geringer als bei den anderen Hopfenstopfer Ales. Eine geringe Herbe unterliegt im Antrunk, kommt aber im Mittelteil gegen die Süße deutlicher hervor. Hier ist der Hopfen noch angenehm aber deutlich zu süß. Im Hintergrund findet man Getreidenoten. Leicht bitterer und erstaunlicherweise wässriger Abgang. 11/11/10/7/11/11
