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.

Hazy golden. Aroma is light chestnut some feinwürzig hops and untoasted toast with butter. Taste is sweet rich malty with light butter and somewhat minerally and also a little sour. Quite drinkable. Not bad.

Tap. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is buttery, but in the good fresh way, floral, fruity, juicy malts, quite moreish. Taste is butterbrod, mildly floral, quite juicy, cereals. Juicy-oily mouthfeel, fine-bubbled carbonation. Tasty if you can handle the butter!

Getrunken als „Posthörnla …das Rauchige“ mit 5,2 % Alk. Bernsteinfarben. Süß / rauchiger Geruch. Die malzige Süße ist geschmacklich deutlich vorhanden, aber nicht so stark wie im Geruch. Angenehmer, leicht „holziger“ Geschmack. Spuren von Honig sind erkennbar. Der Rauch sehe ich knapp unter Medium angesiedelt. Hopfung sehr dezent - die recht süße Grundnote könnte ein wenig mehr herben Konter gut vertragen. Schön weich, fliest wie warmes Leichtlauföl die Kehle runter.

Das Kerwa-Seidla der Brauerei Hönig, Tiefenellern, Flasche von Hopfen & Malz im Wedding. - Für ein Export mit bloßen 5 % arg niedertourig - schaun wir mal, ob sich trotzdem ein Kerwa-typisches Festbier-Gefühl einstellt. - Schönes Kupfergold, klar. - Nase mild toastig-karamellmalzig und zart bonbonsüß mit fein fruchtiger & herbaler Hopfengrundierung. - Antrunk schlank karamelmalzig und blaß bonbonsüß mit leichter Frucht, einem Hauch von Aprikose und Orange, und nur milder herbaler Hopfung mit einer Andeutung von mediterranen Kräutern. Gut rezent, schlank. Im Abgang nur milde Hopfenherbe. - Was in der Nase vielversprechend begann, erweist sich im Trunk doch als arg blaß. Für ein Kerwa-Bier fehlt mir da der Wumms. (7.8.2022.)

NRW-Fläschla: Deep golden, hazy, medium-sized lacy white head, moderate to distinctive sweet-bitter aroma oof honeyish malt and flowery hops with a very faint rural touch; moderate to robust bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, not overly soft; slightly lingering herbal-bitter and honeyish finish. Well balanced franconian goody…

Bottle @ Bamberg. Late June find. Thank God. Pours hazy yellow with a fine stable White head. Melon, White bread, grains and a whisper of sweet marzipan and alcohol. Gentle warmth. Lovely.
