Finally a chance to purchase Karbach in west Texas. My first try is Rodeo Clown that I have not tasted before. Good move on my part. It goes into a tall shaker glass and is a great dark amber giving a decent beige head. I detect the hops and some toffee in the scent. The taste is strong but not crazy hops, a mango sweetness and a great fullness in the mouth. It ends with a good push of bitterness. Not in league with Dogfish Head 90 Minute but close enough. And I love the can.

Level 42 Bottleshare and no Mark King in sight. Thanks to Paul. Clear amber beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is light, mildly soft and has modest fine carbonation. Mildly sweet malts. Modest spice. Mellow pumpkin. Smooth finish. Standard light pumpkin beer.

Fine bleach white head, clear yellow body with minimal carbonation. Nice complex aroma that resembles gueuze or lambic, white wine notes for sure and hints of wheat grain in thar. A bit of agitated yeast dudes hangin’ around too. Flavour is a subtle saison with a lot of white wine on the edges; not necessarily too much but it does stand out. I’d say it’s a good mix and a successful experiment, like a beer/wine cocktail mixed together all sensitive-like. Good for a lighter option, nice acid would work well with lots of pork products that I am now dreaming about devouring....

Can shared in London - thanks to Scopey. Pours clear, rich copper with a dense, creamy tan head. Prominent cinnamon in the nose, some toasted wholegrain bread, pumpkin. Medium sweet flavour with a little caramel, bread, ripe berries, some spicy cinnamon. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more toasty bread, dried pumpkin, more cinnamon, a little earthy bitterness. Nice one.
