Draught at Fozdefeszt. Hazy orange colour, big white head. Aroma is of floral hops, taste is strongly hoppy, very bitter. Finish is dry. Good stuff.

hazy orange colour, huge off-white head;aroma of citrussy and floral hops; taste of intensive hoppy bitterness with citrussy notes and significant malty sweetness; it’s quite strange that maltyness can also be felt despite the huge amount of different hops; congratulation again, armando (though, the Freaky Wheaty Grabanc is slightly better for me)

hazy dark golden colour, significant off-white head; very pleasant aroma of citruses (mainly grapefruit), fresh bitterness and some malty notes with banana (?); taste is fully dominated by hoppy bitterness and very intensive citrussy notes, however some maltyness can also be felt and I would say that the effect of the used yeast line is also detectable slightly in the taste and aroma (something from the freshness of wheatbeers);excellent IPA! Congratulations, master armando :)

On tap. Orange body, off-white head. Piny, citrusy, caramely aroma. The flavor is piny, herby, citrusy and caramely. The citra hops make this version more citrusy and drier, more bitter than the original Grabanc. It’s an awesome beer.

Ezt még a múltkori főzdefeszten kóstoltam, és egyből a Matuska Cerna Rakétája jutott eszembe a maga erőteljes, már-már erőltetett szőlősségével. Amúgy ugyanolyan mint a sima Grabanc: jó.

Grabanc, grabanc na. Fel is merül bennünk a kérdés, mint laikusokban, hogy vajon az élesztő miben hathat az ízére? De hamar túllépünk rajta. Kicsit később, lenyelés után, váratlanul támad, lesből gyilkol, nem szemtől szembe, esélyt sem hagy a győzelemre, és egy vastag fenyőgyanta réteget ragaszt fel az ember nyelvére. Béla szerint a fesztivál söre, nekem kiszárítja a szájpadlásom, és egy kérdést vet fel bennem még: A matricás a sima grabanc??? Na, ugye-ugye. Manapság már egyik grabanc a másik.

On tap @ F?zdefeszt 4. Hazy pale orange body, off-white head. Aroma of a classic hefeweizen with some hops: citruses and banana. Flavor of banana with a citrusy, herby bitterness. Nice one but I like the original Grabanc more.

Draught, 6.0% abv., at Csak a Jó Sór. Unclear, apricot coloured body. Firm white head, good lacing. Fruit hoppy aroma with notes red oranges and grapefruits. Pineapples and apricot in a fresh, fruit hoppy flavour. Rounded, long-lived bitter aftertaste. Well made and very pleasing (Budapest, 31.07.2012).

Draft at Csak a Jó Sör, Budapest. Hazy orange, creamy white head. Fruity hoppy aroma, pine, strawberries and yeast. Flavor has grapefruit, caramel, strong bitterness, light smokey finish. Interesting IPA, easily the best Hungarian beer I have tried,l so far.
