33cl bottle. Pours clear deep amber colour with a mid-sized most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of old hops, toasted malt, ripe fruits. Taste of yeast, ripe fruits, toasted malt and some smoke, boring!

Amber beer from a Brandenburg craft brewery, thanks tderoeck for sharing. Medium thick, moussy, off-white head over a hazy amber coloured beer with brownish hue. Aroma has a disturbing off-flavor of rotting cabbage and manure, next to moldy nut shells, baker’s yeast, peach, toasted bread, fig. Soft fruit onset, peach, some dried banana perhaps, faint sourishness which persists all the way through (mild infection, I assume, in combination with the unpleasant bacterial manure odor), minerally carbonation, soft ’fluffy’ bready malt sweetish middle with some spicy yeast notes and a yeast feeling that adds more breadiness to the finish, mixed with an earthy, softly peppery hop bitterish touch. Decent conceptually (though I do think this is an amber ale rather than an amber lager) but unfortunately impaired by a very unpleasant off-flavor.

Flasche (33 cl) von Getränkefeinkost, Berlin-Friedrichshain. - Helles Orangebraun, gut trüb. - Nase nur schwach herb-fruchtig hopfenaromatisch, etwas muffig-ranzig. - Antrunk weich karamelmalzig mit schön hopfenwürziger Herbe aber ohne die exotischen Hopfenaromen, die man mit einem Pale Ale verbindet. Das hier erinnert von der Hopfung her an ein deutsches Kellerbier, nur ein leicht orangenfruchtiger Touch verrät den Einsatz von Mandarina Bavaria. Mild rezent. Mäßig herber, schwach chloriger Abgang. - Kein ernsthaftes Pale Ale, aber einigermaßen schmackhaft. Auch hier sollten die Genossen vom LaBieratorium noch einige weitere Testreihen fahren.

Flasche (33 cl) von Getränkefeinkost, Berlin-Friedrichshain. - Orangebraun, gut trüb. - Nase leicht karamelmalzig und herb hopfenwürzig-krautig mit zart stechender Säure. - Antrunk karamelmalzig mit deutlicher pikanter Säure; wenig süß. Hopfenwürzig-krautige Hopfenaromen gehen allmählich in fast schroffe Herbe über. Mild rezent, etwas hartes Mundgefühl. Unangenehm mineralisch-chlorige Noten im Nachtrunk. - Ziemlich unrundes Rotbier. Hier sollte das LaBieratorium noch weiter experimentieren.

330ml bottle [courtesy of Frank from Bielefelder Biersalon, thank you very much!]. Barely clear, orangey golden colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Aroma is somehow like an indirect negative of "what the nose would have been like if the flavours actually been left out were present", i.e. strawy and grassy with explicit reference to absurdely present, non-present notes of orange and lemon; slightly coarse, minimally grainy, pale malty basis. Taste is slightly medicamentous, fairly bitter hoppy, grassy-herbal-spicy, minimally citrusy, hints of hay, balm and lemongrass, a dry touch of coconut. Intense hoppy, but neither really refreshing nor fruity in the way obviously aimed at.
