Horizont Brewing
Microbrewery in Budapest, Capital City of Budapest, Hungary 🇭🇺
What we like is the versatility of our consumers. Our beers are gladly consumed by beer connoisseurs and everyday beer drinkers, and we created our beer portfolio to fulfill everyone's beer needs. Our beers are available in all Michelin star restaurants in Hungary and can be found in most of the craft beer bars around Budapest.
We believe brewing is an art form.
We try expressing that through our labels as well not only by whats inside on the bottles. For that reason we worked with a local artist who created artworks we used on our labels, specifically capturing the essence of the character of the beer on the canvas.

0.44l can courtesy of Ogi, shared with Hrabren as well. Very dark red-brown body, almost black, off-white head. Sweet raspberies, slgihtly gone coffee, and some dust in the aroma. Simplistic raspbery-driven sweet taste, bit lean, minerally, doesn't feel like a milk stout, odd bitterish touch in the finish. Eh, not the greatest.

Nagy, tartós hab, gyümölcslé állag, narancsos szín. Fanyar, gyömbéres, uborkás, lime-os illat. Savanyú, citromos, uborkás, gyömbéres, kissé sós ízek. Könnyű, közepesen szénsavas, nem keserű. Uborkás-gyömbéres limonádé, de kiválóak az arányok.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head, doesn't last. Smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine carbonation. Thin feeling but richly flavoured malts. Toffee, caramel, a little malt cream. Good bourbon soaked ripe fruits on the back end. Bourbon spice, oak barrelled vanilla. Smooth and semi dry bourbon finish. Tidy and drinkable..

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear deep amber brown beer, small tan head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. One of those barleywines utterly in service of its barrel and this one is all bourbon soaked very ripe fruits, tangy as well. A little wet wood and slightly sour oak barrel induced vanilla add to the reasonably complex barrel character. The overall character lacks malt richness and maturity but, the dominant barrel character makes some amends.
