Description
Deutsche Braukunst und Tradition oder amerikanisches Craft-Beer? Der Hopfenhäcker Kreativbrauer bringt’s zusammen. Brauhandwerk gelernt und fasziniert vom „American Way“, Bier zu interpretieren. Zwei Männer – der Münchner und der Ami – brauen in der Garage, bis sie beide der Meinung sind:
«So schee war’s überhaupt no nia.»

Bottle at the brewpub, 15/07/17. Light haze on a golden orange pour with a decent off white head. Nose carries big cheese notes, orange squash, grains, light citric notes. Taste improves ... Orange peel, toasted bread, orange squash, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close dashed with juicy hop strokes. Could have been a good beer but the big cheese strokes knock this down a good .5 overall for me.

Bottle at the brewpub, 15/07/17. Deep Reddish amber with a well appointed beige cap. Nose is caramel, malt forward, red berry fruits, biscuit. Taste comprises bitter orange, light spice, cheesecake base, toffee, toasted brown sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with earthy hop bitterness. Average for style ... slightly astringent in terms of bitterness and lacking balance overall.

Bottle (Thanx to Garching!): Hazy, chestnut-amber coloured, lively carbonation, bigger rocky off-white head; grassy to piney hoppy nose, traces of sweetish dark or toasted malt underneath; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, pretty soft; lingering drier herbal-piney finish, still well balanced by toasty and bready malt. A very well crafted Bier...
