Best before 06/24, from Ingelheim, august 2023. Time to open this beer yesterday after a visit at the Christmas market Morges. For me, it was a generous and well brewed imperial ipa, rich note of malt, so citrus and bitter, sweet and malty, boozy, subtle herbal note.

I liked it more than I did last year's. Love the classic bitterness.

Both amazed this isn't reviewed, and startled about how long it must be since I had one of these venerable classics. Nose is pine, light floral, with a base sweet fruitiness; very balanced. Taste is pine, with malt, leading to a pithy grapefruit and resin with a grapefruit finish. A balanced classic.

Great fun. Loads of rich piney resin, licorice, gooey citrus peel. Really well balanced. Lightly toasted malts, candied orange rind. Star anise. Mild boozy note. A nip of earth. What a treat to try. Super stuff.

Pretty enjoyable, pretty punchy, notes of berries, lightly toasted malts, low bitterness. Soft earthy-leafy hop, grape, a little golden raisins, maybe rum. Warming finish. Rather drinkable but a small pour is sufficient.
