Description
Good in brewing beer. Bad in writing bios. Madness from Budapest challenging almost everything you know about beer. Always flawless, always bold, never boring. Not necessary business-wise all the time, but setting the standards high for ourselves every time as we truly believe in the cliché that goes like ‘the way you do something is the way you do anything’.

2017 rerate. Bottle, thanks Zvone. Clear full amber body, relatively lasting big white head. Tropical and slightly citric aroma, quite nice really, on top of a lean malty, bit caramelly backbone. Taste... tropical and citric soft touches, with an unappealing vague rubbery note annoying me from the finish. Vaaaaague tart touch. Dunno... even this time - this obviously shows potential and shoots itself in the foot somehow - which I've experienced so many times from these guys. Very nice ideas, sometimes superb execution, but more commonly... just something, something stops them from fulfilling their potential. Pity. But they are still one of my Hungarian favorites.2016 rate. On tap at the Medulin fest... thanks... someone :D. Amber body with a white head. Extremely herbal, pungent, dry hoppy aroma. A huge amount of hops, which is obvious, but not in the way I like. The same continues on into the taste, huge herbal/spicy hoppiness balanced out well with a sweet malty backbone though. Solid beer, but I’d hoped for more. 6/3/7/4/14

On tap at the Medulin fest. Thanks... someone? Muddy ochre body with a light white head. Predominantly banana in the taste with light vanilla. More banana and more vanilla in the smooth, sweetish, creamy, mild taste. This is exactly what they say it is, and so it’s great. And yeah, I’ve recommended it successfully to a friend who "doesn’t like beer". Hats off, very well executed!

On tap in Medulin. Thanks... Domagoj V.’s friend I think. Amber-red body with an off white head. Malt-driven aroma, stale caramel. Slightly stale caramel sweetish note in the taste, light figs. Just OK, exactly what they aimed for, but the style’s mediocre to begin with so what to expect...

Kicsi, nem túl tartós hab, barnás-vöröses szín. Karamelles, vörös sörös illat, némi marcipános beütéssel. Vörös sörös, karamelles ízvilág, halvány mandulás aromával. A csili az első korty lecsengésekor bukkan elő, és onnantól végigkíséri a sört. Jó csilire jellemzően nem a szájüreget, hanem a torok hátsó részét csípi és jól eltalálva nem mar, csak határozottan jelzi a jelenlétét. A tárkonyt nem érzem ki belőle (ha egy kicsit megmelegszik, már igen). Közepesen testes, enyhén szénsavas és szinte egyáltalán nem keserű. Fincsi és izgalmas ízvilágú sör. Jobban tetszik, mint az eredeti változat!

Bottle shared at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Nir A. for this bottle! Hazy golden. Fruity hops aroma, quite tropical, with a bit of yeast, and a light soapy hint. Flavor has faint sweetish malt, and nice bitterish fruity hops, quite tropical and juicy. Medium-bodied. Very nice and refreshing.

On tap. Hazy golden body, white head. Aroma of bread, orange zest, lemon zest and peach. Taste of bread, tangerine, floral hops, peach and coriander. More fruity than spicy. Very nice.

Hatalmas, nagyon tartós, piszkosfehér hab, félbarna szín, szűretlen. Enyhe illatok, déligyümölcs és némi gyanta. Édeskés, mangós ízekkel nyit, a csúcson előbukkan a komló és keserűje, aztán icipici gyanta is betársul. Közepes keserű és szénsav, közepes test, némi száraz utóíz. Finom, jó összhanggal rendelkező sör.
