Initial smell is light, setting you up for the ambush to come. Pours cloudy blond with only a little head and not much lacing. The aroma has a little wild yeast and fruity fermentation that burns into the nostrils. Taste is a real zinger. Has that fermented citrus feel to it that outs a big tang on the tongue. palate is big ad varied. Aftertaste sweet and sour all at once. On tap at volos.

First Hopfenstark I’ve gotten ahold of. Smells like raspberry. Taste has a little sourness. Pours without any head, no lacing. Cloudy blonde. Palate doesn’t last too long except for a little berry sourness. Very average fruit beer. On tap at the Saint Bock.
