Danke an kappldav123. Herb-süßer Beginn mit interessanten Kräuternoten. Sie passen im Mittelteil weniger, im Nachgeschmack wirken sie dann völlig fehl am Platz. Wenig bitter, trocken, gewürzig. Interessant aber nicht so wirklich mein Fall. 8/6/7/7/6/6

Wenig malziger Antrunk mit herben Beinoten. Wenig würzig, die Herbe steht deutlich über dem Malz. Dies setzt sich zum Ende hin fort, wenig hopfig-frisch, die Herbe führt weiter. Im Abgang würziger, leicht röstig. Zu schwach. Danke an kappldav123. 9/10/9/9//9
