Bottled. Pours deep amber colour with white head. Slight hops and resin, some earthy notes and malts with caramel. Fairly balanced between bitter and sweet notes, but somehow it doesnt work as a whole.

Bottle at Red Ruin, Budapest. Aroma is biscuity malt, soft herbal hops, earthy leaves, caramel, some yeast, and metallic notes. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a fairly bitter finish. Body is medium. A bit messy, totally unconvincing.

Bottled. Hazy ambery brown with a small off-white head which vanishes quite fast. Aroma is herbal, yeasty, some parfumed soap along with mild earth. Flavour is herbal, some parfumed soap, mild spices as well as some yeast and a bit wooden notes. Very unfresh and on the verge to feeling something is really wrong with it.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks Stas. Clear amber. Malt, stale hops, some infection, yeast, some plastic, sweetish, bitter finish, a bit of alcohol. Weird.

Dark copper colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have subtle hop notes. Some malt sweetness in the aftertaste. Light. A bit plain.

Bottle from E-Drinks @ home. Slightly hazy amber to light brown colour with a medium sized off white head. Smells soapy, floral, grassy, yeasty, loads of herbs. Tastes yeasty, biscuits, loads of herbs, breadcrust. Stop calling beers like this IPAs. Medium body, too much carbo.

Bottle from Neked Csak Dezső, Budapest. Poured a hazy medium amber with a frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is malt, tropical citrus fruit hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a dry malt, grassy citrus fruit, light soapy floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Fresh and fruity. One of the better beers from Hoptop.
