Taste: bitter touch, some citrus, fruity, bit chemical, grapefruit notes, spicy, some ginger, more bitterness, chemical.

28 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, 77ships & tderoeck! Clear pale golden, lasting, small, frothy, white head. Aroma of rubber, wood, vanilla, banana, white bread, white sugar, soap. Taste is light to medium sugary sweet, spoiled fruit, candied banana, white bread, minor spicy bitter notes of pepper, rubber, something chemical, ending dryish, very faint grassy hops, more rubber, white sugar, giving the slightly wry alcohol a white rum-like effect. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Even more hopeless than the Port version…

28 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, 77ships & tderoeck! Clear pale golden, lasting, small, frothy, white head. Aroma of dried banana, apricot, apple sauce, vanilla, juniper, honey. Taste is light fruity sweet, banana & apple sauce on a ‘wet’ bready malty base, sourish lime & gooseberry, bitter notes of juniper & spices, ending dryish, with vague grassy hops, some wood, vanilla, and not too elegant warming alcohol, sherry-like at best, but hinting more towards cheap white wine. Where’s my port?

28 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, 77ships & tderoeck! Clear pale golden, quickly thinning, frothy, white head. Aroma of white sugar & bread, apple peel, banana, pepper, grass, some vanilla. Taste is medium sugary sweet, hinting at ripe yellow fruits & white bread, spicy bitter core of pepper, grass, wood, early alcohol & sourish lime underneath. Dryish, slightly grassy hoppy finish, more yellow fruits, white sugar & bread, and apparent, a bit wry white rum-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Too unrefined, too much alcohol.

28 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, 77ships & tderoeck! Clear pale golden, lasting, thick, foamy, white head. Aroma of banana, wheat, ‘pullman loaf’, rubber, withered grass, hashish. Taste is light to medium sugary sweet, ripe banana, apple sauce, bready maltiness but in a white, industrial manner; spicy bitter notes of pepper, grass, disturbed by weird rubber & early warming alcohol, fully apparent in the dryish, slightly grassy hoppy finish, lingering white bread & obnoxious white rum-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Completely went off track, it seems.

Could've been first, damn backlog! :p
Clear pale yellow beer, small creamy white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, raw grains, cow fodder, banana, bit spicy, coriander, more banana. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweet, sugary start, some banana, little bitter, almonds. Aftertaste: bit oxidized, sugary, some alcohol, spicy, coriander notes and banana. Another disappointing B.A. version of this beer...

Clear blond beer, small creamy white head, stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: banana, bit fruity, yeasty, sweet impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: alcohol, bit sweet, banana, more banana, soft acidity, yeast, bit nutty, little bitter. Aftertaste: yeast, some banana again, some tannins, bitter finish with more banana peel. Not very impressed by this one. If you start with the wrong base beer, then the barrel ageing misses it's point…
