330 ml can from the brewpub, bb 26.12.2026. Amber body, with a big, fluffy, off-white head.
Aroma of passion fruit, stone fruits, citrus, resin, biscuit. Tastes similar, while quite light.
Lighter mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes quite light again, moderately bitter, a bit sweet, fruity, citric, resinous.
A bit underwhleming, the taste is too watery for my taste. The nose is really lovely though, like an old-school west coast pale ale.

From tap at the brewpub. Pale yellow, medium hazy body, with a big, fluffy, off-white head.
Aroma of wet grass, lemon candy, stone fruits, some resin. Tastes similar, more resinous.
Quite creamy mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes medium bitter, grassy, dank, citric, resinous, a bit piney.
I still don't get what the difference of a Cold IPA to a regular IPA is supposed to be. Quaffable and characterful nonetheless, with lovely resinous notes.

Robust style example, with nice toasty and cocoa notes and not much sweetness fortunately.

From tap at the brewpub. Yellow, hazy body, with a creamy, yellowish head.
Aroma of dankness, wet grass, apricot, lemon, oat, some vanilla. Tastes similar.
Quite creamy mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes dank, juicy, grassy, oaty, citric, fruity, a bit mineralic.
Very quaffable and aromatic stuff. Lovely dank character, bslanced by juicy fruits and just enough malt body. Drinks very easy and balanced.

Tap at the taproom, sitting inside on a lazy afternoon, watching the hail and rain that just started. Would be interesting to see if those people that were just queuing in tracht outside the Löwenbräukeller are still all there. Queu as in several hundred meters. Orange opaque. Flowery tropical. Soft. Not bad. Oh wow, now there is heavy rain.

Bottle from the brewery, consumed after several Limoncello Spritzes in Naturno whilst reading about Florida Man getting his due after having stolen a Black woman's winning lotto ticket (naturally, in fictional Florida). Light hazy orange amber, citrusy nose, mild and well integrated orange-lemon taste a bit like a Weißbier with the slice of lemon as often served in the USA. Could also be a Belgian Wit, were there coriander (there is not). Quite a tasty one!
