Draught at the brewpub. Opaque yellow colour, thick white head. Dry grainy-eggy nose. Infected? Old. Yup, it is. Empty lemony taste with some light acidity near the end. Wasn’t as intensive to me as it was to Natko and I could finish it, finding it dry and kinda refreshing in a way, but it definitely shouldn’t have tasted like that. Shame.

Draught at the brewpub, this batch had 5.2% accorting to the board near the brewing tanks. Poured a full shiny yellow colour with a nice small thick white head. Grainy, biscuity slighty sweet malty nose. Tasty biscuity grainy taste. Light but sharp herbal hopiness near the end. A very pleasant, drinkable blonde.

11/10 Draught at the brewpub. It poured murky brown body with medium sized brownish head. A bit grainy and caramel malty aroma with a side note of some dog food. Not bad though. Sweetish toast malty flavor, but herbal bitterish as well, a bit more hops were used here than it’s usual. Quite full body and pretty smooth beside hops. Long, bittersweet finish. Liked it the most of all three. Too bad they didn’t had any seasonal beer.

11/10 Draught at the brewpub. Poured murky golden body with medium sized head. Nice lager aroma, relatively weak, but with prominent unpasteurized hops and lighter malty profile. Bitter flavor, slightly sourish as well as of mentioned hops, bit honey malts round the brew. Medium bodied. Nice, longer bittersweet finish. Good brewpub Pilsener, especially after awful Blanche.

11/10 Draught at the brewpub. It had murky pale yellow body with smaller head. Sourish aroma with some bread. Hint of bubblegum. Sour flavor, not really pleasant for me, some yeast. Seems like the barrel was old or something as I didn’t get what I expected, this reminds me of my kvass experiment which I didn’t like. Didn’t want to finish it.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is malty, mild acidic touch. Roasted breadish malt flavoured, light bitterness and vague hops bitterness showing through. Ends bitter and dry, surprisingly hoppy for an ambree.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours cloudy/hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is mild citrusy hoppy. Fruity flavoured, light bitterness and easy malt base. Solid carbonation mouthfeel. Bitter and crisp hoppy flavoured finish.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a creamy and chalkwhite head. Aroma is wheaty, light estery and citrusy (in part from the lemon added into the glass - did remove it though). Citrusy flavoured, light wheaty too. Vague estery note from back of the nose yet enough to provide a dry experience in the finish.

Handbottled, courtesy of Per. Mild fruity aroma. Herbal, slightly spicy. Cloudy dark orange colour. Very small white head. The flavour is herbal, has some cereal. Mild aromatic hoppiness. Not bad. Peppery finish, like black pepper, not just alcohol.

Hand-bottle from Per - big thanks! Hazy dull tan. Strange minty hop character, with maybe some autolysis. Mild, low bitterness and mild hop character. Pleasant, quaffable brew.
