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. Score 6.8

Date: Monday 26th January 2026. Okay need to up my rating for this. Kostas, Kykao brewery sent me a case of beers last week. This is great, there's a real Mediterranean herbal quality to this, okay it's not hugely hoppy or bitter but like Loz said we need to re-evaluate this, it's different but it's lovely, nice softness, I guess the Sabro hops are doing their thing. Score 7.3

Can courtesy of Kostas who kindly sent me a case of beer last week. Having this Friday 9th May 2025 cooking Brazilian Black Bean Stew and about to put some music on. Pours hazy yellow with a large white head, soft mouthfeel, bitterness doesn't feel to pushy but this is really drinkable, a little citrus juicy edge, really like this.
