Herber, leicht erhöht karbonisierter Antrunk. Leicht steigender Hopfen, der aber noch lange nicht führend ist. Auch später ist der Hopfen eher nebensächlich, die Hefigkeit führt. Zum Ende steigt der Hopfen wieder deutlich, harmonisch, rund. 11/11/11/11/9/11

330ml bottle. Hazy, orangey golden colour with average to huge, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, fruity hoppy aroma, notes of water melon, honeydew melon, a touch of red berries, gooseberry, papaya. Taste is moderately sweet malty, dry fruity hoppy overtones, water and honeydew melon again, papaya, even hints of banana, mildly spicy, minimally tangy, overall cautious hop bitterness. Salient sweetness, but somehow exactly on the right level to support the quite unusual fruity flavours. Not ground-breaking, to be sure, but maybe trend-setting after all. I’ll definitely keep an eye on that Kazbek hop.

Tap at Craftbeerfestival Magdeburg. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Hoppy-fruity aroma. Starts sweet-malty, more and more hoppy-fruity, notes of apricot. Light bitter background. Fruity malty finish. Quite drinkable. Really nice!

Tap at Craftbeerfestival Magdeburg. Deep golden in the glass, nice head. Mild malty aroma. Starts not as strong as exspected, fine malty and spicy. Some woody-dry notes. Finish more and more fruity with hints of apricot. Nice one!

Bottle from Leipzig. Nice floral nose. fresh, grassy hoppy floral hops. The beer has a nice smooth malty not too sweetish body. Fresh, fruity grassy hops. The body is a bit too sweetish malty for my taste. Hints of grain in the aftertaste, but nice piney-thick hoppy aroma. Nice.

0,33 l bottle from kappldav123. Big big thank you! Simple and old school looking label. Bottle no. 983. Murky amber in the glass. One finger head. Mid fruity and fresh hop on the nose. Taste is orange fruity, caramell, yeast. Low bitterness, mid fruit sweetness. Later grapefruit hints. Fresh one. Pleasant.

33cl bottle. Looks really good. Simple but good. Love the label paper. Beer in the glass dark orange, nice head. Wonderful fruity aroma like apricot and peaches. Starts fine hoppy-fruity, not too dry. Light sourish notes, some lemon and orange. Shy bitter notes in the background. Finish well balanced, still fine hoppy-fruity. Very drinkable. Nice!
