Bottle. Clear rosé color with white head. Aroma is grape juice, a bit dusty, interesting character. Taste is grape juice, then some nice vineous hop character, dry-ish. Sparkly carbonation, mineraly bite. The character is a bit too much on the must side of the grapes, but it's dry enough and actually a super easy-going quencher.

Darkest dark. Aroma is raisin punch vanilla wood dried fruit. Taste is smooth velvety melasses wood and later some very awkward bitter moldy fruit. Finish has some of the cocoa vanilla like melasses but also the awkward fruit. Something doesn't click in place for me...

Bottle. Dark amber chestnut, offwhite layer. Rum raisin and vanilla aroma as soon as you open the bottle. Medium full creamy dry body, fine carbonation. Big on wood vanilla and sweet rum notes, but never cloying. Raisins, plums in rum, certainly some strength to it biut does not feel that boozy. Almonds and vanilla retronasal. Nice one!

Bottle (Danke, Jonas!): Deep golden, big loose off-white head, moderate bitter-sweet fruity nose (peaches, apricots?) with a (rye-) bready background; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, astonishingly full bodied, quite soft; lingering and even drier bitter-piney finish with a mild balancing residual sweetness. O.K....

Bottle from the brewery, drunk while barbecuing in light snow. Light hazy amber, decent head, lightly sweet and spicy-hopped nose with hints of corn. Very balanced flavor with creamy mouthfeel and smooth citrus and white-wine-tart-fruitiness. Excellent one!

Bottle courtesy of Ratebeer München Dave, cheers Dave!, had this Wednesday 10th November 2021 listening to Steve Lamaqs Evening Session on 6 Music playing Radiohead - Kid A and adding it to their classic album club. Pours dark gold to light hazy amber with a white head. The aroma is tinged with a soapy, disinfectant note, it's not the glass as I had a beer from this and washed it simply with water again and had no aroma like this before. Taste is fine, it has a busy carbonation, it's got a clean simple light bitterness, light fruity. It's okay but the aroma is pushing me away sadly. Loz also gets the weird aroma....

On tap at Brewsli. Hazy orange, good head, grapefruit orange nose. Nice piney orange-peel-citrus flavor, balanced bitterness. Not too bitter or overly sweet. Very nice!

Malzig-hopfiger Beginn, kernig, würzig, deutlich ansteigende Bitterkeit. Malz und Hopfen sind auf gleichem Level, intensiv, dennoch harmonisch, zum Black IPA fehlen nur noch Röstnoten. Langer würziger Nachhall, intensiv. 10/11/11/12/8/11

Heller und klarer, angenehm herber Beginn. Erhöhte Karbonisierung, die Herbe bleibt konstant, ansteigend bitter. Helles Malz, trocken, moderat getreidig. Spritzig, mit der Zeit cremiger, die Herbe wird dominanter, langer Nachhall. 9/8/6/8/8/9
