Bottle at home. Pours salmon-pink with no head. Nose is intense berries, jammy, somewhat funky. Taste is intensely, sharply acidic, slightly funky, then fruity. The finish is dry, tart, fruity. The carbonation is completely flat. Lovely fruit character in there, but the complete lack of carbonation and sharp acidity throw me off a bit.

Bottle. Illataban bomba, funky, savas szederbomba, izre mar visszafogottabb es majdhogynem a semmibe fakul az utoize. Kar erte, kifejezetten erosen indult.

Can at home. The oak only provides a fairly light (which was kinda expected) vanilla-tannin touch for the finish. It’s not much on the one hand, but surely enough to keep things interesting on the other. It’s a solid pils nevertheless, regardless of the oak character, so I’m not too worried anyway.

Bottle at home, cellared this one for 1+ year. Mindharom komponens, amik a fo szerepet jatszak egy ilyen sorben, szepen osszeallt egy meglehetosen szep kis balanszba: kellemes, komplex savprofil, relative intenziv gyumolcsosseg es a funky brett szepen simulnak egymasba. Harmonikus, kerek sor.

Can at home. I can’t not compare my can to the other reviews here as the contrast is so stark. No trace of rubber or plastic or any other weird off character as a matter of fact, it’s crisp, clean, meaty-sausagey smokey in the best way possible, I quite like it actually

Can at home. Usually I have no problem with unreasonable/out-of-style level of hoppiness or hybrid styles, but calling this a lager is way out of line. Super hazy, has a NE-ish hop profile, the body is at least on point, crisp, but not lagery at all, drinks more like an IPA from the drier side. Not too bad as a whole, but doesnt fit the label the brewers put on it

Bottle @ Gunnfryd megaticker party . Black body with almost no head. Strong, boozy and perfumed aroma with roasted malt, chocolate, oak, vanilla, coconut and hint of coffee. Taste is same as aroma, boozy with malt, chocolate, vanilla, wood, coconut and toffee. Bold body and long lasting, boozy, warming aftertaste. Feels a bit ‘’too much’’.
