Bang on. Elderflower rushes through the nostrils, light round fruity background. Mild and fruity start, mineralic, dries up a little and offer soft bitterness in the finish. Perfect summer beer. ?
Light estery pear, fennel, orange, rye spice, cider. Soft sweetness, a bit tart, turns quite bitter and dry. Creamy body, light and soft.
RB backlog. Grape, grains, esthery yeast, cardboard. Low sweetness, tart, medium bitterness. Weird dusty dry finish on a slick, watery body with soft carbonation.
RB backlog. Grapefruit, berries, hints of fruity coffee, nuts. Medium sweet, turns tart and offers soft bitterness. Medium body with soft carbonation. A real surprise. Very good BIPA from a small local brewery.
RB backlog. Caramel, red berry purée, lightly floral and soapy, TUC crackers, melanoidin. Light sweetness, melanoidin malts, mineralic, dries up.
RB backlog. Needs a bit more carbonation, different aromas are kinda mushy. It is clear what they're going for though. Maybe just not my cup of tea. True "Weihnachtsbier"!

330 ml bottle, bb 02/2019, shared by Werckmeister, thanks!
Copper, clear body, with a small, light beige head.
Aroma of resin, citrus, hay, flowers, caramel, grass, honey.
Tastes quite similar, with some berries.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes smooth, a bit dry, moderate sweet, floral, grainy, a bit citric, a bit resinous, with some honey, some sweet fruits.
Very nice. Really smooth to drink, with some creamy character and the sweet, grainy and hoppy notes very well balanced. Characterful and quaffable, very good style example.
Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 3 / 15

330 ml bottle, bb 04/2019, shared by Werckmeister, thanks! Copper-brownish, clear body, with a small, creamy, bread head. Aroma of gingerbread mainly, some cocoa, toast, honey. Tastes pretty similar. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes spicy, bready, moderate sweet, with some honey, slight cocoa. Nice one. Indeed tastes like gingerbread, without being too sweet. Quite simple maybe, but quaffable stuff. Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 3 / 13
