0.33 l bottle from 'Britische Biere', best before December 2017. Black with a medium large, fluffy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, roasty and a little fruity aroma of lots of coffee, dark chocolate, hazelnut, some licorice and traces of dark fruits. Moderately sweet, slightly bitter, quite roasty and slightly fruity taste of mainly coffee and dark chocolate, hazelnut, some licorice and quite a bit of dark fruits, followed by a medium long, medium roasty-bitter, earthy-dry finish. Medium body, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Quite nice, a bit too heavy on the coffee maybe, could be creamier though.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, dark amber colour with a big and off-white foamy head. Fruity, slightly grassy and resiny hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, grapefruit and canned peach on a slightly dark malty background with yeasty spice. Bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Moderately fruity and slightly resiny hops character with a balanced malt profile including shades of caramel; rounded bitter-sweet finish. Interesting stronger Altbier and IPA hybrid. 02.X.17

(unique bottle, 33cl) Slightly hazy, amber colour with a thick and off-white foamy head. Mildly dark malty aroma with notes of cacao powder, toffee and herbal hoppy spice. Moderately bitter and slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a crisp carbonation. Dry, dark and toasted malty base with hints of toffee, traces of chocolate and present herbal hops; a tad slim bitter-sweet herbal hoppy finish with traces of chocolate in the aftertaste. Surely clean and drinkable, but also nothing special by Rhineland standards. 05.IX.17

Bottle: Pale golden, hazy, quickly collapsing loose white head; mild malty-hoppy nose with a delicate fruity touch; moderate dry bitter flavour, light bodied and a bit tart; slightly lingering dry bitter- fruity finish. Not bad, but their top-fermented samples are better...

Bottle: Amber coloured, cloudy with lots of floaties, nearly mid-sized creamy and lacy off-white head; moderate dryish leafy and piney nose with a toasty - Altbier-like - background; quite robust bitter-sweet flavour, a bit tart, medium bodied and relatively soft; toasty-caramelly traces in the lingering bitter-piney finish. Good, reminds You more of an India Pale ALT than an classical IPA...

Fläschchen:Amber coloured, almost clear, smaller - quite stable - loose head; sweetish malty-fruity nose, small amount of toasty-chocolatey malt underneath, molecular traces of herbal hops detectable; drier bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied and pretty soft; lingering sweet-bitter toasty and herbal- hoppy finish. A bit on the sweet side, but all in all a well drinkable Old...

0.33 l bottle from ’Holy Craft Beer Store’, best before October 2017. A bit hazy, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Faint, slightly grassy-spicy and a bit floral aroma of fresh grass and some citrus. Just slightly sweetish, moderately bitter, grassy-spicy and slightly floral taste of fresh grass, some citrus and light grains, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly dry and rather grassy-spicy finish. Thin to medium body, smooth and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Decent Pils, quite refreshing, very quaffable, for me the best of the three standard beers from this brewery.

0.33 l bottle from ’Holy Craft Beer Store’, best before October 2017. Clear, dark brownish amber with a thin, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty, ’green’ and a bit grassy-spicy aroma of caramel, toasted nuts, chocolate and marzipan. Just slightly sweetish, quite bitter, roasty-malty, ’green’ and a bit grassy-spicy taste of caramel, chocolate, toasted nuts and some straw, followed by a medium long, rather dry-bitter, grassy and roasty finish. Almost medium-bodied, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Tastes more like a Dunkel, feels too young, not the most enjoyable ’Alt’ I’ve had so far and definitely not worth its price tag. Overall a decent beer, but just miles behind the classics from Düsseldorf.

0.33 l bottle from ’Holy Craft Beer Store’, best before October 2017. Clear, dark reddish amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish, floral, moderately fruity and slightly resiny aroma of orange blossom, honey, strawberry jam and some tea leaves. Rather sweet, malty, slightly bitter, floral, fruity and slightly herbal-resiny taste of strawberry jam, yoghurt, orange blossom, honey and tea leaves, followed by a short, moderately bitter, rather dry and herbal-resiny finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Weird, but not unpleasant, not what you would expect from an IPA though. Disappointing.

Weich herber, fruchtig hopfiger Antrunk. Trocken bitter, die Fruchtnoten von Maracuja wandern in den Hintergrund. Durch die starke Bitterkeit nicht ganz harmonisch da die an sich starken Hopfenaromen begrenzt werden. Gut. 10/11/9/11/12/11
