Tap at BaF with Gurthnar, thx! Clear paaaaale golden body, white head. Bit yeasty, vinuous aroma, light phenols, lightly floral. Lean, dry, very not winterish taste, white grapes, white wine, sweetish, well hidden alcohol, just some warmth, very low herbal touches and bitterness around the finish. It works as a beer, just not as a Belgian IPA.

Tap at Beer & Friends. Thin, well attenuated, medium carbonation. Med-high bitterness, light honeyish sweetness. Med-high spiciness, lots of yeasty phenols, pretty nice. Light esters. Moderate lemongrassy hops character. Feels more Belgian than an IPA, but I do not mind, it works, is nice. ABV hidden really well. Good beer.

Tap at Beer and Friends with Gurthnar. Lightly hazy dark red body, creamy pinkish head. Creamy, almost lightly buttery sour cherry aroma. Some cherry notes, bit fermented, lighty funky, light sour notes, ending mildly dry. Not my type, eh, but it's reasonably beery and reasonably non-lactose-riddled.

Tap at Beer and Friends. Pretty classic feeling west coast style IPA. Med-thin body, light caramelly toastef maltiness. Medium carbonation. Med-high bitterness. Hops-centered, with moderate resiny, citrusy character, pink grapefruit, a bit of orange zest and pine. Overall easy drinking, good.

Tap at Beer and Friends. Lots of fruit character, I like the roughly equal parts balance of mango and pineapple. Light yogurty funk present too, so it does not feel entirely sterile. Not very beery either though. Med-thin body, but also rather light carbonation, needs more bubbles. Overall good but not great.

Appearance - 9 | Aroma - 8.5 | Flavor - 8.5 | Texture - 9 | Overall - 8.5

Tap at Beer & Friends. Med-thin body, med-high carbonation. Med-high bitterness, but at the same time very soft, rounded. Light sweetness, definitely rather dry. Also got interesting malt character, medium toasted, nutty, med-light coffee. Medium grassy herbal Saazer hops character. Why is there not more beers like this one? Well balanced, both bold and smooth, easy drinking, yet dangerous. Very nice.

Tap at Beer & Friends. Thin body, medium carbo. Medium sourness, clean lacto, med-light yogurty funk too. Medium cherry, natural feeling, fermented out. Easy drinking, good, even if not very beery, but at least there is that bit of funk. Good one for sour lovers.

Tap at Beer & Friends. Med-thin body, med-light caramel. Medium carbonation, medium bitterness. Moderate gooseberry, winey, this kind of hops character, flowery. Easy drinking, good, even if a bit old feeling.
