Deutlich hopfiger dunkler Antrunk, frisch, etwas hefig. Die Hopfigkeit breitet sich dann etwas aus und bleibt das Hauptaroma, wenig bitter zum Ende. Gelungen. 12/11/12/11//11

1000ml bottle [4.8% abv]. Minimally cloudy golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Slightly floral hoppy aroma, grainy background. Taste is initially slightly floral hoppy with grainy background, in the finish flat bitter hoppy; very soft palate. Starts with a promising, unusual hop note, but finishes sadly in the standard flat way.

Poured up on draft (5.4%) at the brewpub into a big goblet like glass that has a narrow sort of Kolsch glass looking shape for the lower half and then a big globe at the top. It has a clear copper body with gold edges that supports a clean smooth 2 inch tall head that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The aroma offers up earthy almost basement like citrus hop notes with smooth sweet malts in the background before a moderate level of mango and pineapple surface toward the end of the draw with a smooth almost cotton candy like smell. Additional whiffs bring up a nice load of mango. The taste rolls into a smooth malt sweetened mix of lime, grapefruit, mango and pineapple. I am getting largely flavor hops and only a modest degree of bitter hops from this hop profile. As a consequence this must be a mighty approachable IPA for those who are new to this style. That said I’ve had Kolsch with a bigger hop bitterness but with a much lesser extent of hop flavor. Toward the finish I get a re-assuring yet modest hop bitterness that helps take this into the after taste where a bit of roasted malts and mango tend to linger for a while.

Poured up on draft at the brewpub into a big goblet like glass that has a narrow sort of Kolsch glass looking shape for the lower half and then a big globe at the top. It has a clear copper body with gold edges that supports a clean smooth head that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The aroma comes across malty, lightly roasty malts and then getting into earthy herb and lemon to lime notes that are somewhat smelling like bitter hoppiness. With more pulls I also get faint fruity esters in there if I take a big pull. The taste has a nice modest resiny hoppy kick that seems vague at first but soon picks up grassy, herbally earth notes and a lemon lime citrus sensation just like in the nose. Around the hop periphery are sweet malt and lightly roasted malts and possibly some crystal malts too. I’m not sure where this beer is trying to go but it is an interesting take on the style. The trouble I’m having with this beer is the stunning Pale Ales I’ve had recently that are still very fresh in memory.

Sehr trockener Getreideantrunk, etwas an Tapetenkleister erinnernd. Später aber lecker nach Roggen, langer intensiver Nachgeschmack, würzig trocken. Gut! 11/8/11/11//11
