2 February 2025. New Year Tasting with Tim & Anke - cheers! Can from V and B Nanterre.
A: cloudy black, stable, foamy, beige head.
A: charcoal, toast, earth, fried mushroom, grapefruit peel.
T: sweetish brambleberry, bitter toast, grapefruit, bit umami.
F: earthy & piney hops, bitter grapefruit, roasted coffee, toast.
P: medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation.
Quite good, despite the middle-of-the-road hop profile. Nice to see that a relatively niche beer style (and still relatively well executed at that) was chosen to celebrate a launch in one of the most commercial game series ever.
