At Serpa, Zichy ut. 4 - a Rotburger outlet. Went in hoping for Hexe and Teufel, got this. Oh well. Misty yellow body. Sourish yeasty, husky aroma. Same in the taste, husky malt base, yeasty throughout, strange notes pop up here & there. Only very mild herbal bitterness in the bg. Carbonation bite? Feels like a throwback to the pre-2010s Hungarian brewing scene, still holding on throughout the beer revolution. But maybe I’m being slightly unfair - some interesting flavors did show up underneath the bad off flavors. Unless I can get it completely fresh, no more for me - but if fresh, I’ll be glad to rerate it then, and will be glad to try the rest of their range at Serpa next time I’m in Budapest.

correct golden colour, quite poor head, roasted malt fragrance with some sourness; malty sweetness taste with some not fully ballanced hoppy bitterness. I would say that it is not functioning as a whole, but not hopeless.

1l PET bottle. Golden body with a thin white head. Sweet, bready, grainy aroma. Malty flavor, but quite hoppy finish. A nice everyday beer.

Draught at the brewpub. Almost clear dark brown, small creamy head. Toasty nose with ripe fruits and mirabelle. Medium bodied with well rounded mouthfeel. Roasty with some coffee and hazelnuts, low bitterness. Mild, though greatly flavourful. A laid back dunkel with subtle complexity. I really like this!

Draught at the brewpub. Clear deep golden, minimal head. Buttery malt aroma. Mid dry with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Firm but spritzy mouthfeel. A bit fruity with some butter and grassy hops. Light salty bitterness. Well balanced uncomplicated lager.

Draught at the brewpub. Cloudy deep golden, small head. Light buttery malt aroma. Slight salt and grass, a whiff of sourish lemon. Light-medium bodied with spritzy rounded mouthfeel. Slight salty bitterness. Sadly not in top shape, makin it less attractive than the other two beers at Rotburger.
