(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a blond and firm medium-sized foamy head. Fruity hoppy aroma with notes of apricot, mango and passion fruit, backed by a mildly rye-malty and slightly wheaty touch. Mildly bitter and delicatety sour-tart flavour, light to medium bodied with a slightly prickly carbonation. Delicately bready and subtle grainy base with notes of rye and wheat, accompanied by present fruity, slightly exotic hoppy flavours; slightly bitter and delicately tart finish. Nice but not outstanding. 02.VI.17

Bottle. Hazy yellow-golden color with creamy white head. Aroma is grassy, hay, flowery, banana cream, dough. Taste is banana cream, dough, phenolic finish with a sharp grassy bite. Silky mouthfeel. Good aroma, the flavour doesn’t hold up completely. Quite nice overall, though.

330 ml bottle from Getränke Oase, Munich.
Dark brown-copper, hazy body, with a big, fluffy, lacing, dark beige head.
Aroma of cocoa, nuts, berries, some citrus, dark chocolate, some coffee, slight toast.
Tastes quite similar, but a bit sweeter, with more chocolate and some honey.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes smooth, medium sweet, moderate roasty, a bit warm, fruity, with chocolate, cocoa, some toast.
Very nice. More on the sweet side, but really smooth, with lots of creamy chocolate notes and also quite a lot of fruits. The ABV is very well hidden, doesn’t drink heavy at all. Not outstanding maybe, but really quaffable.
