On tap at HopDog, München Friday 13th January 2023. Pours clear mid amber with a white head, nice softness, there is a very nice middling bitterness, surprised by this, fruity but no overly so,cit offers a lot. This is a very sessionable beer.

Tap at HopDog. Clear dark golden. Fresh green, cold. Taste is lovely chewy (aaah finally... has been a while since I could write that). Beautifully round, sweet-bitter butter (tad sticky, that butter), until the end (and it takes a while until it arrives there). Dont know why I have rated this one yet; probably was busy drinking it. Beautifully flawed.

Tap at Hop Dog. Minty, lightly buttery malty aroma, with lovely herbal noble hop notes. Lovely, lovely herbal hop presence, edged by soft diacetyl, a very Czech zwickl, no doubt there, very well balanced, tasty despite the diacetyl though I do wonder how great it would be without it!

Bottle. Clear orange golden. Malty orange, soft buttery sweetness (no, just the texture, no butter smell), booze. Well, taste is odd, sour. Needs a rerate.
