Brewed with Simcoe, Chinook and Nelson Sauvin hops, the caramel and chocolate malts complement piney, tropical fruit and citrus flavors and aroma. At 40IBU, this beer is not overly bitter, and the finish is a grapey/wine note from the Nelson Sauvin hops.

Deepish red, semi trasparent though some particles are floating. Average to good intensity in a simple but pleasantly fresh aroma: a caramel malts base, a fresh underlying resinous feel with stone fruit notes on top of it. Taste doesn't feel as fresh sadly, and also not very polished. There's more conplexity to the hoppy notes though, with grapefruit and white grapes hints complementing the stone fruit component. The sweet/caramel base is not too timid, but there's good overall balance brought by the resinous component; sadly, the finish is quite unclean and not dry enough. Quite light bodied, average or slightly below average carbonation; dunno, feels a bit tired and flat mouthfeel wise. Overall: so, so, perhaps not in it's best condition.

Bottle at home. Pours deep copper with a finger-thick head. Nose is bitter hoppy and there's some caramel. In taste the same notes appear and it closes with a short bitter finish. Light bodied with average carbo. Expected more tbh.

On-tap in Kaschk, Berlin on 10th May 2023. Off-white crust on a hazed amber body. Malty molasses rule the nose and taste with toffee and caramel to the fore, citrusy hops give a slight bitterness but it's about the malts.
