bottle as gift from Cuso, many thanks Imro. dark brown color, medium big off-white head. smells quite grainy, milky, rather strong smoky. medium body, medium carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of grain, smoke notes, light bacon, some light sweetness. light smoky / sweet finish. decent, but not too special and a bit boring.

bottle labeled as "Kastelan Hotel Devin" from trade with Cuso, thanks Imro. orange, quite hazy / almost cloudy color. small off-white head. smells quite yeasty, oranges, peach, some spices. after beers warms up smell shows some sour notes. light body, rather bubbly carbonation, slick mouthfeel. at first a rather sharp taste of burned grains welcomes me, bready, taste mellows out rather well into a sweet / fruity taste. overall taste of yeast again, orange, peach, herbal, light sour. light sour / dry finish. hmm, drinks a lot better when its cold, after it warms up a bit the mouthfeel gets a bit unpleasant.

12oz bottle pours a hazy gold with some rocky, white head. Nose has a lot of stone fruit, a little leafy berry patch, some dusty couch. Flavor follows, lots of apricot, straw, honey, pear, mild papaya. Clean finish.

12oz bottle pours a murky amber with lots of frothy, white head. Nose has soap, dusty couch, mild vinegar, cheese cloth. Flavor has malt, vinegar, mild orange peel, pithy, soap. Carbonation is extremely harsh and grating. Distracting finish.

Bottle, thanks Cuso, dense long lasting frothy head, hazy veey dewp oeange color with brown hues, mineral and unripe fruit aroma, sour fruit flavor with somw caramel, quite sour with very light bitterness. Drinkable but too much sourness and not nearly enough maltiness for the style.

Bottle, thanks Cuso, bubbly head with lots of lacing, a little deep cloudy yellow color, fruity aroma with some herbs and yeast, flavor of light bread with a fruity citrusy sourness and a light to medium herbal bitterness, feels just a little diluted. Drinkable and quite enjoyable.

Bottle shared at ZZT 10. Pours murky amber brown with floaters. Aroma of big infection, fruit, butter. Flavour is light moderate sweet and bitter. Light to medium bodied with light carbonation.

1 liter plastic bottle [from Euro Swap 6 I believe..] @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus, Countbeer and Joes. Reddish color, small off-white head. Smell and taste some malts, a slight hint of sourness, a hint of red fruit, lightly a touch of bitter but a weird touch as well. Average body and carbonation. Hmm drinkable but not really good.
