Can courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery and consumed at home in the company of Jonas and Ursula after a lovely hike in the hills behind Deggendorf Saturday 17th May 2025. Busy in the pour but then rapidly disappeared, black in colour. Sweet milky coffee, minty as well, soft in the mouth. A little bit of milkshake. Ok.

Can courtesy of Kostas Kykao brewery cheers Kostas! Consumed at home in the company of Jonas and Ursula after a lovely hike in the hills behind Deggendorf Saturday 17th May 2025. Pours for all the world looking like a fruit juice, tastes also very fruity, peachiness shows, the sourness is good, the vanilla is there but not working quite as well. It's really bonkers but in a good way.

Can courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery, cheers Kostas! Shared the beer with Jonas and Ursula at home Friday 16th May 2025. Pours clear light gold with a small white head. Quite earthy and herbal with a nice buzzy mouthfeel. I like this, it has rustic quality but if I were trying this blindfolded I really wouldn't have a clue how to categorise this, it doesn't taste like a DIPA, hoppiness is muted. Fine.

Can courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery and consumed at home, shared with Jonas and Ursula Friday 16th May 2025. Very nice, very summery. Light sourness, funky and super easy drinking, cannot quite believe that it's 10%. Great beer, Kykao do this spontaneous fermented beer brilliantly.
