0.33 l bottle @ Green Sheep Bar. Pours hazy orange with no head. Bitter hops, fruity and floral notes, maltsy overtones, tea and bergamott in aroma and taste. Long, bitter finish. Surprisingly easily drinkable, light to medium bodied and softly carbonated. Well balanced, delicious DIPA.

Tap at Grand. Deep, clear golden pour, white head. Nose is floral, slighlty tart notes. Taste is floral again, camomille is definitely there, but I don’t quite get anything other than this. Low sourness, faint sweet notes. Light bodied with average carbonation. Bit of a meh.

Can at home, köszi Nari! Pours copper with an off-white head. Nose is caramel, light resinous notes and orange zest. Taste is low to medium bitterness, light sweetness, it shows notes of caramel and light booze, citrus zest and pine. Closes with a bittersweet finish, has a medium body and soft carbonation. Tasty oldschool AIPA.

Can shared at work. Az alapsor mar a bourbon hordos verzioban is tundokolt, es ennel a verzional sincsen maskepp: elkepeszto suru, ragacsos-ragos csokoladeozon nemi melaszos, szaritott gyumolcsos, kaves felhanggal. A hordokarakter viszont meglehetosen mas, itt meglehetosen kifinomult, fuszeres, elegans, kicsit vanilias, mig a bourbon totalisan az arcodba maszott, sokkal intenzivebb volt.

Can at home. Pours blackish brown with a tan head. Nose is intense whisky, soy and umami aka barrel oxidation. Taste is whisky, very light notes of the base beer, some soy again, and the finish is almost salty, might be worth looking into the water profile here? Light bodied, almost thin.

Bottled. Pours deep brown colour with thin beige head. Prominent coffee and chocolate/cocoa notes with somewhat slighter hops both in aroma and taste. Its finish is also coffeish/hoppy bitter and lasts quite long. Easily drinkable, softly carbonated. Not bad.

On tap @ II. Kraft Sörfesztivál. Pours deep, hazy golden with white head. I’ve had high expectacions based on the hype, but I think it’s "just" a decent IPA, nothing more. Bitter, flowery there’s some resin to it, but that’s it.

0.33 l bottle shared at home. Pours jet black with beige head. Nose is chocolate, some coffee and roasted notes with slight booze. In taste the same notes appear with some fruity undertone. Medium, smooth body, soft carbo, long sweet finish. Good ‘un.

0.5 l bottle shared, 5.5% ABV version. This probably is the first altbier I’ve had, so I’d rather not go into “professional” details.
