Bottle:Hazy, deep amber coloured, quite big and quite stable off-white head, astonishingly dry herbal to medical-hoppy nose with a distinctive dark-malty and chocolatey background; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied and pretty soft; lingering herbal-hoppy and sweet dark-malty finish. Unusual, but nevertheless well balanced and well drinkable Bock...

Leicht erhöhte Karbonisierung. Ausgewogener, gleichzeitig hopfiger und stark röstiger Beginn. Trocken, steigend hopfig, das Röstaroma bleibt aber stärker. Im Hintergrund dunkel malzig, moderat karamellig. Langer malziger, intensiv bitterer Nachhall. Gut! 11/12/10/12/10/12

Herber, wenig süßer Hefebeginn. Vergoren bananig, viel Nelke. Süffig, die Herbe steigt an. Leicht erhöhte Karbonisierung. Okay. 10/8/9/8/10/8

(swing top bottle) Hazy, murky amber colour with a beige and loose foamy head. Fruity, piney and herbal spicy hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, dark and red berries, backed by mildly hints of toasted malt and caramel. Bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Dark malty start with toasted notes, caramel, as well as juicy fruity and slightly piney hoppy accents; slightly sticky finish with juicy hops and herbal-spice and cautious hints of cough syrup in the aftertaste. Likeable brew. 12.III.18

Beugelbuddel (BBF 24/3/2018): Light amber coloured, hazy, big and slowly collapsing loose yellowish head; dry herbal-bitter nose, a certain amount of sweetish pale malt in the background; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, pretty light bodied for a beer of 5.5%, not overly soft; lingering dry herbal-bitter finish, balancing malt hard to detect. Too thin, too unharmonic...

0.5 l bottle from ’Biermuda’, best before August 2017. Minimally hazy, dark reddish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, moderately fruity and slightly grassy aroma of caramel, strawberry jam, honey, citrus and some grass. Quite sweet, malty, slightly bitter, moderately fruity and a little grassy taste of caramel, honey, strawberry jam, citrus and some grass, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, rather grassy and slightly dry finish. Medium to full body, slightly oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice, a bit disappointing as an IPA though.

Pours a clear caramel colour, white head. Malty hoppy aroma, little caramel, O.K.

A good beer, that is pretty similar to certain rural franconian brews, just three times more expensive...
