0.33l bottle shared @ Israeli tasting evening event. Pours a light cloudy body with a small islandy head. The aroma is not too good. Unfortunately it reminds me of how it smells under the kitchen sink. Sour and a bit rotten. Soft carbonation and a oily texture. It's drinkable. Not any good, but I can drink it. Quite sweet and some what malty, blended with some really really well done fruits. It's also quite clearly tones of oxidized caramel. Mah.. Could be a drainpour. Clearly infected, and that's a shame. 11.02.2012

Draught sample, small stable creamy head, hazy lightish lomony yellow colour, strong aroma of apricot, peach and rose petals, with spice in the back, flavour of wheat and bublegum with touches of spice and rose petals, quite tart with a light bitterness. Original and extremely refreshing.

Re-rate 2/19: Hazy yellow, big white head. Phenolic spiciness, yeast, minerals, some fruitiness, citrus, sweetish, bread, bitter finish. Similar to my previous experience with the beer. 5/4/5/3/10=2.7

Draught sample at Beers 2012 exhibition in Tel Aviv. Cloudy golden. Orange color with a big white head. Aroma of yeast, mild fruity esters and light bready notes. Sweetish fruity flavor with a drier finish with light bitterness. Light to medium-bodied. The bitterness doesn’t work so good here and esters aren’t dominant enough - still kinda OK. 5/4/5/3/10=2.7

Draught at the brewpub. Nice and black. Thin head. Hoppy and roasty aroma, just like I like. Full of roast but a little bit thin in the finish. Good drinking stout, to accompany the gorgeous view.

"Red". Draught at the brewpub. Amber, hazy with a thin head. A little bit spicy (coriander) and biscuity on the nose. Smooth biscuity and lightly toasty character with a fair dose of coriander.

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy and blonde. Thin head. Fresh, with lots of coriander, fresh malts. Quite a refreshing brew. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Nice - so much better on tap at the brewery compared with the rather lame bottle we had in Jerusalem.

Im Antrunk hefig, darin dezent hefig und stimmig gewürzig. Dieser Trend setzt sich fort, die hefige Würzigkeit wird noch stärker und beinhaltet später auch herbe Noten, die die Süße in die Schranken weisen. Erfrischend, gleichzeitig aber ausreichend würzig. Hefiger, vergoren bananiger Abgang. Gelungen! 8/8/9/10/7/8

Die röstigen Noten im Antrunk sind weich und wirken nur oberflächlich, beiläufig ist eine saure Nuance auszumachen, die in Kombination mit der Hefe auftritt. Das Malz wird zwar stärker, die Röstrigkeit bleibt aber gleich. Auch bleibt das Aroma weiterhin eher oberflächlich. Die vorhandenen Aromen isnd eingänglöich und gefallen,d ie gewünschte Tiefe ist noch nicht vorhanden. Zum Ende steigert sich das Bier aber, in dem es zumindest teilweise auch im Hintergrund wirkt. /9/9/9/8/9

Amber with a small off-white head. Perfumed aroma of flowers and coriander. The flavour is a sweetish coriander bomb with a hint of bread and caramel
