On tap at Last Drop, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some dry pine hops, lightly woodiness from the Chinook perhaps, and dusty earthiness. Flavour has a nice woody hop character, some bitter pine, and soft bready malt to back. Nice hop expression despite how tired it smelled. Good stuff.

On tap at BPBW 2025. Clear pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, herbal and light piney nose. Herbal, piney, light floral and bit resiny with earthy touch in the finish.

On tap at BPBW 2025. Hazy yellow coloured, small to medium sized white head, citrusy and light tropical fruits in the nose. Citrusy, light tropical fruits, notes of grapefruit and bitterish finish.

Tap at BPBW 2025, I reckon, bungled the name, but this one makes the most sense. Murky orange-golden body, off-white head. Coconut, tropical notes, some herbal notes. Smooth taste, herbal, bitter, berry hoppy notes. Good stuff!

Tap at BPBW 2025. Paaaale yellow-godlen body, lasting off-white head. Citric, somewhat herbal hoppy aroma. Similar hop profile, citric, herbal, resin, ending lean, dry, bitter. Quite on point and drinkable!

Tap at Budapest Beer Week 2025. Blackish body, off-white head. Smooth aroma, maple-like notes, well integrated barrel, vanilla. Smooth, heavy but well balanced taste, again, something I identified as maple, but it's probably the combo of barrel, vanilla and adjuncts in a way, with light citric notes. Lightly soapy but quite tasty!

Помню что пиво нереально алкашное и крепкое. Но на финише реально есть сироп приятный, карамель и сахар. Но тяжело.

Tap at BPBW 2025. Very dark brown-blck body, creamy brown head, nice. Chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla alcohol aaaand more chocolate really, very nice aroma! Surprisingly lean, dry, spicy taste, vanilla, chocolate... mellowed out a bit I'd guess.

Tap at BPBW 2025, day 1. Hazy yellow body, white head. Lychee and citric notes in the aroma. Lean, dry taste, dried fruit, somewhat citric, again the lychee, quite okay, but maybe not in top shape.

Tap at BPBW 2025, Day 1. Brown body, off-whtie head. Citric, bourbon, somewhat hoppy aroma, solid maltiness. Citric-herbal, woody, bourbon-barrel taste, with a smooth, but not overly heavy malty backbone. Just lovely!
