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, kindly donated by pivnizub! Golden with a tall white head. Hoppy herbal nose. Pleasantly malty start without too much malty sweetness, very well balanced with herbal hoppy flavours in the finish.

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.

Bottle. A bit past its prime. Cloudy amber, offwhite cream. Honeyish, herbal nose, light sour. Medium body, lightly sour touch, Brottrunk, dusty grain, light juicy, melon, citrus. Quite good beer hiding in there, need to get Gregor to get it fresh!

Bottle, mild gusher. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is honeyish, mild grains, and a bit yeasty. Taste is the same, quite bready, with a soapy finish and some peachy fruitiness. Foamy carbonation. Seems like an infection, needs a rerate in a future year.
