The can looks not bad - simple but good. Sweet and alcoholic aroma. Tastes also sweet, mild, finish modest spicy. Better than I exspected!

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a slowly collapsing white head. Mild spiced and cornish aroma. Flavour is smooth cornish to light malty sweet, vague caramel note, and with a solid bitterness into a dry and bitter finish.

Draught: Poured a golden color with white head. The aroma is nice grains and mix of hops. Smooth taste with a hoppy finish. Pretty refreshing on a hot day in Berlin.

Can. A light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is of wet cardboard and citrus. The flavor is also of cardboard and citrus with a dry end.

(Can 33 cl) Pours a pale, pilsener golden with a small, white head. Fairly nice aroma of both malt and hops. Medium body with good pilsener malt and a solid, dry hopping. Very German in style - and I believe that’s also where it’s contract brewed. A pleasant surprise. Courtesy of Bov. 160806

The thread came up about what brewpubs you most wanted to visit. One of my answers was the Chinggis Club. That would mean that I’d be drinking good beer in Mongolia. Some what argue that after Steinbrau in Bishkek I’d popped a very similar cherry and they’d be right but that doesn’t dissuade me from wanting to visit the Chinggis Club anyway. I mean really, the proper Central Asian equivalent would be a brewpub in Tashkent called the Timur Club and I didn’t find anything like that. If I did, I would have gotten drunk and disorderly there just like I did at Steinbrau and plan to do when I finally do arrive at the Chinggis Club.
When I saw Bov had rated this beer, it was only fitting that omhper was in the room and we’d just finished getting Iranian beer from down the street. Nobody can get Iranian beer down the street except for me. Bov is apparently the only one who can get real (as in not brewed in England) Mongolian beer down the street. So we worked out a trade. (I only wish he held one of my local breweries in the same esteem I hold BFM so it would feel more even).
With this much behind it, how is the beer? It has a slightly hazy golden colour. It has a hoppy aroma that at first is almost precisely like pee. It loses some of that as it warms and just smells like pee-like hops later. There is also a rather surprising anise note in there for some reason. The body is fairly light and quite dry. In fact, flavourwise this is a pretty hoppy beer with fresh bread notes to back it up and a bit of tart graininess. As with Bov, I’m not really sure which of the Chinggis Club beers this is supposed to be, as it is only labelled Chinggis Beer Premium, but it seems a north German pils to me. Not bad, despite the initial litterboxy aroma. And I still want to go to UB and put my feet up at the Chinggis Club.
