1000ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey, dark golden colour with huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Herbal, floral and slightly fruity aroma, sweet-ish, a touch of blossom honey, viola (?). Taste is dry, herbal hoppy, minimally tart, malt body without sweet remnants, white bread crust, bitter finish. Interesting...

Hopfig karamelliger Antrunk, frisch. Fruchtig, konstante Karamellnoten. Bitter hopfig, herb trockenes Finish. Gut! 8/11/12/12/8/12

Dunkel würziger Antrunk mit frischer und steigender Hopfigkeit. Deutliche Bitterkeit, alkoholisch. Geschmacklich gut aber nicht wirklich ein Sommer Bier. 9/8/8/9/8/8

1000ml bottle. Hazy, yellow-ish golden colour with huge, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Rather cautious hoppy aroma delivers grassy notes, some hay, some straw, some lemon, a ’background-ish’ grainy touch. Taste is minimally bitter and grassy hoppy, hints of straw, hay, lemon, pea, slightly mineral and citrusy finish. Remains anaemic throughout. Appears to be an hotpot for the reutilisation of hop remnants rather than being a dedicative concern to compose an "irres Hopfenaroma". Vielleicht ’Neudeutsch’: "Irre’s Hopfenaroma". Doesn’t knock my socks off.

1000ml bottle. Hazy, orangey golden colour with average, thick, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Yeasty aroma, notes of apricot and peach, a touch of brine, cautious herbal hoppy overtones. Taste is minimally tart, dry, slightly spicy yeasty, subtle pale malty sweetness, fruity hints of apricot and peach; soft palate, gentle, average to lively carbonation. Nice.

Etwas fruchtiger Antrunk, trocken, Kräuternoten. Herber werdend, trocken bleibend. Dann bitterer, die Kräuternoten bleiben. Eher unsüffig, fruchtig, vollmundig. Nett! 11/11/8/9//9

Hopfiger und malziger Antrunk, angenehm fruchtig, wenig herb, rund, der Hopfen nimmt etwas ab. Süffig bleibend, zum Ende etwas brotig. 10/9/9/10//11

1000ml bottle. Cloudy golden colour with average, frothy, white head. Wheaty aroma with hints of banana, green apple, clove, cautious herbal hoppy overtones, devoid of yeast spiciness, almost like a Kristallweizen. Taste is moderately sweet wheaty, notes of banana, dried banana, a dry, strawy/grainy/bready touch. Very restricted, neither much hop nor yeast flavours, close to a Kristallweizen. If this variation led to something new, it would be appreciated; but we’ve got something that already exists.

1000ml bottle [5.8% abv as per label]. Slightly cloudy, orangey golden colour with huge, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy aroma with an explicit bramble note, hints of other red berries, more IPA-typical fruit notes in second row, maybe some pineapple and tangerine, prognosticating a sweet-ish and tart taste. Not misguided by the berry flavours, notes of bramble and other berries reappear in taste as well as background-ish hints of peach, mirabelle and mango, moderate caramel malty sweetness and a slightly tart touch as forecasted, additionally a cautiously herbal, bitter hop note; yoghurt resemblances; a spicy touch of hay in the finish. Relatively light body, quite sessionable, slightly earthy character overall. Delightful berry notes, unusual for an IPA, but well matching with the caramel malty basis - maybe a touch too much sweetness. It seems the brewer has developed a way to worm the terminal possibilities out of local ingredients (hop pellets(!), not cones) to deliver a genuine interpretation of the IPA style. Well done!
