Can. A bit alcoholic, boozy, with piney, grapefruity hints. Some pale malts in the back. Quite nice, although a bit boozy. 747413 260405

Canned from Base Camp, Prague... Murky yellow-golden body, off-white head... but... I mean... LOOK AT THAT LABEL!!! <3 Some elder and citrus on slightly heavier, mildly oxidized maltiness in the aroma. Sweetish then dry oxidized taste, watermelon, mintiy, good carbonation, lightly herbal. Doesn't feel fantastic, Bitterish finish. Wanna try this on tap maybe or in fresher shape and form... BUT LOOK AT THAT LABEL!!!! Gotta give it to them - I wouldn't have normally gone for a Hop Hooligans NEIPA that day - but for the label!

Basic, sweet and chewy, some odd fruity notes. A little booze. So so.

Can thanks to Colin. Near opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly dark tan head. Airy palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin but fairly rich dark chocolate malts. Fruity dark chocolate, little raisin. Light and semi dry finish. Rich but, a tad thin.

From beerolution, Troisdorf, best before 09/25, trying it now, cool, in my kitchen. Not a classical porter, this one has a side of coconut, hazelnut, oat, chocolate, sweet and carbonated, my can was a bit too carbonated, discreet bitterness, interesting.

500ml, can.
Pours pale and cloudy, with a thin-medium beige head.
Wasn't prepared for the lovage flavor, although I like Sour beers. Pretty hard to drink, but I managed :)) Definitely not recommended as a casual beer, or with sweet pastry, biscuits.

Jens Smagning 17/03/2026 - wow that colour - good timing with St Patrick’s 🇮🇪 ☘️ getting more of the banana sweetness here with just some light tart dry apple accents coming through, smooth mouthfeel, more banana and light apple into the close.
