Bügelverschlußflasche: Deep golden to light amber coloured, big fluffy off-white head; buttery, caramelly, a bit yeasty nose with spicy herbal hops in the backyard; light sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied, mellow MF; finishes a bit buttery, again, but mainly malty with a delicate illusion of hops in the aftertaste. Not bad, but lacks more hops...........

(swing top bottle, with special thanks to quack-duck for the sample!) colour with a fluffy and stable, slightly off-white head, slowly lacing. Sweet toast-malty aroma with distinctive notes of butterscotch with a touch of caramel and light herbal hops. Sweet, slightly bitter flavour, medium body with an almost crispy carbonation. Toast-malty, slightly buttery taste with caramel and shy herbal notes; medium-dry, moderately sweet malty and slightly herbal hoppy finish with butterscotch in the aftertaste. According its name I expected more hop character, but it is a pleasant and quaffable brew.

Bottle: Slightly hazy, visible carbonation, smaller stable fluffy white head; bananas and oranges in the moderate sweet-fruity nose; mild sweetish flavour, medium bodied; sweetish-fruity finish, mixed with a very light acidity an an even lighter tartness in the aftertaste. Pleasant and refreshing, but a bit one-dimensional.......

Bottle: Straw golden coloured, bigger stable, but fluffy white head, visible carbonation; moderate sweet-malty, almost a bit nutty nose with some citrousy edges; very mild bitter-sweet flavour, soft MF, very light bodied; very light finish, as well, with a touch of citrus fruit. O.K., absolutely not bad, but a bit bland.................

(bottle) Cloudy, chestnut-brown colour with a hug foamy off-white head. Light sweet, toasty and wheaty aroma with fruity notes (unripe bananas) and a touch of cloves. Light-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Malty, slightly toasty taste with a good wheat-character and a balanced sourish note; sweet and slightly sour, malty and fruity finish.

(bottle) Cloudy yellow colour with a giant foamy white head. Sweet wheat-malty, slightly grainy aroma with a sourish, citrus-fruity touch and shy clove phenols. Sweet and slightly sour flavour, light to medium bodied with a mellow mouthfeel. Wheaty, yeasty-fruity taste; moderately sweet, fruity finish with yeasty-bitter notes. Nothing special.

(swing top bottle, shared by pivnizub) Hazy, yellow colour with a fluffy and quite stable foamy white head. Yeasty, moderately sweet grainy aroma, slightly worty with faint traces of herbal hops in the background. Slightly sweet and yeasty bitter flavour, light to medium body, moderate carbonation. Strong yeasty, grainy and slightly worty taste with a delicate fruitiness and herbal hops showing up towards the finish, which is slightly sweet and yeasty bitter. Mediocre and a bit unripe.
