Litre swing top bottle from kappldav123, thanks! Brown color. Butter and caramel in the aroma. Malty sourish caramelly flavor with hints of roast and dark chocolate. Should be much better fresh from tap.

Bottle. Pale blonde with a green haze. Grassy, herbal aroma. Rosemary and sage. Herbal, spicy flavor. menthol. Poor balance. Drink very cold, I’d say.

Bottle. Color: Clear amber to copper, off-white head. Aroma: Malt, caramel, hoppy hints. Taste: Malty with nice caramel notes. Moderate to over moderate sweet. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Bit foamy mouthfeel. Some hopbitterness, mostly at the finish. Ok amber (Rotblondes) lager from this small brewery.

0,33 l bottle. Unclear pale golden, nearly juicy looking with an one finger head. Smells fruity, some hop and caramel. Taste starts intensive fruity hopy, also caramel, some resin and malt. But also very smooth at the palate. Really nice one with a long lasting pleasant fruity bitterness. Thanks to kappldav123 for this gem!

Bottle from kappldav. Many thanks! Hazy yellow colour, creamy white foam. Rather sweet, lots of mango, papaya, hoppy bitter finish. Well balanced. Nice and easy drinkable.

A poor effort at a stout, the easiest style to make. Thin body, not much flavour. Nothing overtly wrong, just a poor recipe. Bierbose Dresden
