Slow gusher. Clear golden. Aroma is fake vanilla pudding fruchtzwerge some blueberry yoghurt. Taste is a little sour with hop bitterness. Really weird. Its not bad but its hard to believe it was intended to be this way. Medium drinkable. Fruity finish. Strange.

On tap at Sir William's Pub, Ljubljana. Pours pretty haty amber-coppery colour, topped with a medium sized off white head, creamy and very lasting with nice lacing. Gentle fruity aroma, some peeaches with more present resin tones and some biscuity maltiness. Later on quite boozy nose takes over. Milder, held back bitterness with some more noticeable malty sweetness. Lasting, gentler aftertaste, bitetry. Lots of warming alcohol presence. A bit too boozy, but still decent.

Hopsbrew Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of pumpkin, melon, caramel, flowers, dark fruit and spices. Pours hazy ruby brown color with thin quickly diminishing tan-like head, lots of residue and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet caramel, follows by pumpkin, cooked vegetables and wet grass with subtle medicinal note, mouthfeel is smooth and mild spicy, while finish is mild bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Promising aroma, miserable taste...

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of passion fruit, pineapple and wheat. Pours hazy dark straw color with medium frothy white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with light sweet and sour passion fruit and citrus, following is grainy and bready with crisp mouthfeel. Light body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate. Would prefer more tartness...

Pours slightly hazy orange-amber, topped with smaller and nonlasting white head. Pleasant and sweet pumpkin nose with quite some "christmasy" spices. Taste starts with solid bitterness along with pretty noticeable sweet vegetable feel, slight soury touch and quite some spicess. Lasting aftertaste. Medium body. Not a bad pumpkin beer at all, but pumpkin beer is not something I'd enjoy tbh.

On tap at Ljubljana Beer & Burger Festival, April 2018. Hazy golden, moderate off-white head. Moderately hoppy, herbal and grassy hops, quite sharp, very fresh, lightly spicy and citrusy. Light malty, grainy, overwhelmed by hops. Quite bitter, spicy and herbal, malts underneath. Balanced to the bitter side. Light to medium body, soft to moderate carbonation, finish is moderately lasting and dry. Bravely hopped, on the bitter side, still has the lager character.
