Short 0,33 l bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot mate. But 7,00 €?! Huuuu, getting high expectations. Unclear flat dark copper, smallest fast fading head. Vanilla, pale fruity and caramell smell. Taste has a lot of caramell and also fruity elements coming in the second row. Little bit barrel wood. No carbonation. Smooth, nearly oily. Totally hidden alcohol. Beer of the night!

Pours amber from the bottle. Thin, frothy white head. Aroma is caramel, apple, brown sugar. Taste is malty sweet up front, full of caramel and with a dough-like sweetness. Has a somewhat rough bittery tartness at the finish with hints of green apple and metals. Body is medium, carbonation is soft. Okay.

From me mum: pours pink with a white head. Aroma is raspberry syrup... loads of it. Taste is raspberry and really sweet. Easy but kind of just a raspberry syrup delivery.

Bottle. Pours hazy orangeish strawberry red with airy pinkish head. Clear aroma of strawberry jam and yeast. Sweetish flavour of the same, wit mild hoppy and malty touches. Sweet, estery aftertaste wit jamlike touches. Well, let's jam.

Bottle, 4.8% as "Zwönitzer Hörnchen". Distinct raspberry aroma. Cloudy pink colour. The flavour is a lot like a raspberry softdrink but with a rather unpleasant beery bitterness.
