Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours clear rich gold with a small, foamy white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of lightly toasted malts, biscuits, a little honey and caramel, nips of leafy hops. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with sun-kissed malts, dry caramel. Tasty stuff, very drinkable.

Greifla Schwarz, Flasche von REWE, Forchheim-Reuth. - Nicht ganz schwarz aber zumindest sehr dunkel; beigefarbener Schaum. - In der Nase eher weiche, verhaltene Röstmalzigkeit, gesüßter Mokka, ein Hauch von Kirsche und sehr dezente Hopfengrundierung. - Antrunk schlank und nicht sehr intensiv röstmalzig, mäßig karamelsüß, zart fruchtig und nur schwach hopfenherb. Gut rezent, schlank, fast dünn. Im Abgang leise malzbitter und nur mild hopfenherb. - Arg zahmes, mildes Schwarzbier, dem es an Kernigkeit und Pep fehlt (wie fast allen). Süffig, das ja. (28.9.2023.)

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice small head. Fresh hoppy aroma. Starts mild, malty, a bit moldy. More and more fresh hoppy, fruity hints of lemon, some peaches. Bitter soapy background. Finish could be a bit more balanced. Not bad.

Gold with a frothy, white head. Lovely aroma—mostly floral but with a mix of lemon zest and fresh grains. Taste is bitter the whole way through. Clean, crisp, refreshing feel. Good!
