Description
As a Gypsy brewer, we do not have our own brewery. We use free capacities in regional breweries - this not only helps us, but also the breweries and secures their jobs. In addition, we have more time for our true passion: trying new things to maybe put them in the bottle. Where exactly your beer comes from can be found under the information about our beers. We use a mixture of domestic and international hops. Mostly we use Hallertau hops for bitterness and complement them with American ones in aroma and dry hopping. Our malt comes exclusively from regional companies.

Bottle from Craft Beer Kontor, Hannover. Sourish cucumber aroma. The beer has sourish Gose hints, the fresh cucumber-salad-aroma is dominating the picture. A mixture of fresh cucumber-salate (with a slightly sourish dressing) and the water from pickled gherkins. Strange but interesting. But difficult to finish. As the beginning is the ending. No bitterness, salty cucumber-salat. Strange but crazy stuff! :)

*Bottle from Craft Beer Kontor in Hannover. Round and smooth brew, hints of dusty yeast with nice floral hops. Refreshing but not too deep, hints of grain, fresh floral hops, nice and easy to drink with not too much depth.

At a tasting, thanks, no head, cloudy palish orange color, fruity hoppy aroma with some herbal piney flavor with some peach and apricot, and a pleasant hint of vanila, light to medium herbal bitterness. Nice.

Bottle (ottos mops trotzt!):Pale golden and hazy, big and loose white head, that slowly collapses; mild to moderate grapefruity to lemony nose, some dusty malt in the background, very delicate traces of (necrotic) yeast detectable; mild to moderate (again) bitter-sweet flavour; light bodied but soft; lingering (grape-)fruity and a bit yeasty finish. Yes...

0,33 l bottle. Murky pale orange in the glass, mid size white head. Fruity on the nose, something like mango and orange, little bit yeasty. Taste is hopy, fresh, some orange elements, yeast and wheat in the second row but present. Dry and a low fruity bitterness in the aftertaste.

0,33 l bottle. Pours out unclear golden with a small white head. Floral hop with some citrus on the nose. Taste starts with a mid bitterness, some floral hop, citrus sweetness and hints of honey. Increasing malt in the middle part and less bitterness. Caramell with low bitterness in the aftertaste. Easy to drink.

Hazy darker yellow without head. Aroma of mango and passion fruit, citrussy hoppy stuff. Taste is mild but persistent sourness and some caramel sweetness. Finish is more hoppy stuff and passion fruit. Low fizzy carbonation, medium body. Good but not so easy to drink and the sourness drowns out much of the complexity. Still enjoyed it well!
