Vom Faß in der Hopfenstube in Peking. - Schön orangegelb, gut trüb, kaum Schaum. - In der Nase frische Hefe, leichtes Karamel, milder grasiger Hopfen und viel Diacetyl. - Antrunk bizzelig hefig mit deutlichen Aromen von Zitronenschorle und reichlich Diacetyl. Brausig dünn, sehr “grün“. Grasig-hopfiger Abgang. - Eher Limo als Bier, sehr unausgereift und arg dünn. Da können auch die eigentlich angenehmen Hopfenaromen nichts mehr retten.

Keg at Hopfenstube, Beijing. Really cloudy straw colour, creamy head. Hugely phenolic nose with bubblegum, tiger balm and slight citric banana. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded, spritzy mouthfeel. Bubblegum and sassafras dominates. Some sugared wheat buns. No bitterness. Correct, but lacking proper soul.

Keg at Hopfenstube, Beijing. Cloudy straw colour, small creamy head. Fruity nose. Sweet and very fruity with some caramel and overripe late autumn apples. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel and heavy carbonation. Creamy, but diluted with sugar and sparkling water. Lightly fatty finish with low bitterness. Was expecting more.

Keg at Hopfenstube, Beijing. Lightly hazy copper / amber, small head. Fruity caramel aroma. Mid sweet with medium-full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Caramel, notes if grass and prunes. Fairly low bitterness. Could well be a dunkler bock for all I know.

Cloudy nut brown colour with a thin head. Slightly toasty aroma, maybe with a light fruitiness. Sweet, slightly yeasty, with a toasty/caramel taste and vague chocolate. The finish also gets a bit yeasty. Although it dries out in the finish, something I normally like in a dunkel, it does so without much bitterness. This would probably be better if it dried out with a blast of dark brown sugar if it isn’t going to be hoppy - the malts just aren’t rich enough.

Cloudy with a thick head. The aroma has smokey phenols at first, but they blow off quickly, leaving banana and a hint of wheat...promises a thick and sweet beer. Sweet it is, but with some wheaty acidity for balance. Decent weizen, quite thick.

Quite densely sedimented. Thin had. Glowing opaque yellow. The aroma is very bready. The taste is very yeasty, but no so much kit-beer yeasty as just seriously unfiltered. The finish is dry-ish and quite yeasty as well. A pretty good example of the Asian brewpub yeast-bomb helles.
